He loved to go fishing at the beach. He treasured his DVD collection with many episodes of Gunsmoke, the Rifleman, Andy Griffith, or old Western movies, the Rocky movies, and even many Disney movies!
A visitation for Charles will be held Tuesday, February 18 at Smyrna OFWB Church off Hwy 96 from 12:30pm-1:45pm. Funeral Service will begin at 2:00pm. Burial will be in the church cemetery.
