Charlie was a member of Bible Chapel Church in West Portsmouth since 1995. He took great joy in being the church's song leader. He enjoyed many services, leading beautiful hymns with Garnett playing the piano. Charlie's unwavering devotion and love for his wife and children was limitless. Charlie enjoyed working with his son and helping maintain his lawn. In the past few years, mowing and maintaining his home, became his joy.
Charlie is now with the Lord and his wish to reunite with his "world", Garnett, is now fulfilled. He was a true servant to our Lord and Savior. Charlie gained the most beautiful home, a mansion in Heaven. How blessed to receive thy gift.
