Charles came from a different time in our country & was born during the
Great Depression in the era of, "Waste Not, Want Not," when a man was only
as good as his handshake, & honesty & integrity were expected. His hobbies
were: touring America on motorcycles, restoring show-quality foreign cars,
award-winning gardening, singing, raising fish, photography, & animals. He
was a hard, active worker while improving his crops & land. Charles was an
accomplished mechanic & auto body repairman He could repair any machine,
raise any animal, or grow any crop, & his grandchildren continue the
tradition.
Charles had dreamed of being a pilot, but instead devoted his life to
providing for his family by working extra. Charles enjoyed criminal justice
& enforcing the law which suited his protective, inquisitive, & trustworthy
nature. He was giving, compassionate, & community-minded by performing his
music free at nursing homes & was The Caller for many square dance clubs.
His family will miss his direct guidance & reliable wisdom, but take comfort
knowing that we have a wise guardian angel to protect us.
