So very sorry for your loss. So many memories of him at church and all that he did for Liberty when we were growing up. Example of a Christian is what I think of when I hear his name. I can still see his smile and hear his voice for bible school that he and Betty did so much for Liberty's teens and younger kids.
God blessed all with Charlie.

To all of Charlie's family, I am sorry for your loss of such a great man. He was one of my favorites. What a great Christian life he lived and it shined on his smiling face. I never seen him without a smile and he always had good things to say. Years ago he took me to Hollow Bend to bow hunt deer with him. We had a good trip and time I will always remember. May God bless y'all and RIP Mr. Charlie, my friend and I would say he is considered a friend by everyone that ever knew him !

I am so sorry for your families loss. Charley was a great guy. I have known him most of my life and it was always a joy to run into him. He was always laughing and full of joy. Most of the time we ended up talking about crappie fishing or deer hunting. He will be missed for sure.
