Charlie and I were friends from the first second that Eddie Love introduced us at UCA. Played a lot of softball with him, shared lots of laughs, a true and loyal friend. Will miss him.
Sorry for your loss, prayers for your family. Mr. Clements was a great J.P. and he always worked hard to make Perry County a better place to live.
Gonna sure miss Charlie on FB and his comments that would just make me laugh and laugh. Valla, Diana and family, we are very sorry for your loss and prayers for your family. Years and years ago Charlie and Rex played on a softball team and we were in Harrison for a tournament., After the game, we all got dressed and was heading to eat. We were walking by a swimming pool and guess who pushed me in, yep, Charlie.... you can never be mad at him because he was just Charlie. love and prayers!
We are so very sorry for your loss and will continue to keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.
May God Bless our entire family as we deal the loss of Charlie.
Diane and family, So very sorry for your loss. You are all in our prayers. Love to you all
I'm so sorry for your loss. Charlie grew up across the field from me in Vilonia. We quail and rabbit hunted together during our high school years. He would call me and say let's go hunting. We would meet in the woods behind our house and hunt rabbits. He always wanted Mama Gray to fix us her bbq rabbit. Charlie was so fun to be around. Boy could he knock the cover off a baseball. He will be greatly missed here. We will get to reunite with him when we see Charlie and Jesus in heaven. May God bless his family in their time of loss.
Diana and family, please know our prayers and thoughts are with all of you today and the days to follow.
My heart sank to my toes and I got so nauseated when Jack Sims let me know this morning. He & I have been friends since High School and I loved his like a brother. We bantered back & forth on FB. My husband said he was a good Cavalryman and everyone in Troop E loved him. I know why……..if you knew Charlie, you had to love him. He will be greatly missed.
Family I'm so very sorry. Sissy, my heart hurts for you. Love you all and prayers for each of you.
Charlie was always such a nice man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May the Lord comfort you as only He can as you walk through the days ahead.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Charlie was a softball teammate for many years, but much more than that he was a true friend. He will be missed by all.
Prayers for God's perfect comfort and peace for all of Charlie's family and friends.
To Sissy and Family I send my thoughts and prayers to you. Charlie was a dandy for sure.
