I worked for Charles in construction. He also rebuilt our house after the fire. He was very honest and kind man. He was a true Christian. Stan.

We each enjoyed working with Charles both in serving the Lord and in education. He showed such love and concern for our two sons when they were in his school and afterwards. Charles was such a kind, friendly gentleman who always had a funny story to share! Our prayers are with you Lanai, Josh, Charlsie and Scott.
