Charles was a dear friend and neighbor to my family while he lived in Greenbrier. He was there through the tragic loss of my wife. I think about him and Jean a lot and miss our visits and how much they loved my wife.

My deepest sympathy to all of the family. God has called another angel home. I have many memories, most all are of Charles smiling. I'm sure he is up there with dad talking horses and farming. May God bless you with strength in the coming months.
