Dwight enjoyed working with Mr. Charley and will miss him he has always been a dear friend and we will miss him. We are praying for you and your family during this time but know he is in a much better place and look forward to the day we will all see him again. God Bless you all during this time.

I know how you feel, and I pray that God will wrap his loving, comforting arms around all of you during this difficult time. We will all miss him till we meet him again in Heaven.

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.
