Charles talking to his little "noodle". :)

I will always cherish the memories I have of Charles E. Booker Jr. Charles taught me to how drive. He took me to my first day of school at Lower Richland High School. Of course I cried because I was so shy but he said I would do fine. When I graduated high school from Dutch Fork, he attended my graduation. He was always one to throw down in the kitchen and on rare occasion he would let you in on one or two of his grilling secrets. Charles could grill like no one else I've ever known. He probably could have opened up a restaurant. I will miss his humor, his fun loving personality and the great times we had together. I will always be grateful for Charles as he helped bring Charlesia Booker into this world. I love my sweet little sister and this world wouldn't be the same without her. She is truly a blessing.
Charles, you are loved by so many and we will keep you forever in our hearts. May God Bless your children and your family. Rest in peace. Until we meet again.
