Charles was a wonderful dad, and papa. I will always remember when Alexa was in Kindergarten. He was involved in all of her school activities whether it was parties, fieldtrips, or playing sports. Charles loved his grandchildren and was a big part of their lives. I am thankful I got to know Charles through school. We will be keeping you all in our prayers.
