Charles, always a sweet man,
always with a good disposition, and a “mean”
Joker Player. We will miss him.
Love, to you Bev.
Auntie Bev,
All my prayers are with you in this difficult time. Uncle Charlie was a dear, sweet man – you and he were so fortunate to spend your lives together.
I love you
Char
Charlie was always kind and smiling. He was easy to talk to and always made me feel welcome.
I’m thinking of you Bev!

Dear Bev, So sorry to hear of your husbands passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
When we first got married in 1959, Bev & Charlie were our neighbors behind us. Once a month the woman would get together for “Sewing Club” and the guys would spend the evening going out on the town. They would come home with some of the funniest stories about their outing. We would also get together at each others home for coffee and some great story telling. We will always remember Charlie as a fun-loving person who enjoyed life and had the most infectious laugh. Rest in peace dear friend.
Bev, our sincere condolences on your loss of your dear Husband Charles. May his memories rest in your heart to help you through this period of grieving. I’m glad y’all came back to Boeing in the 1970’s as wewould have never had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful family! Love & Hugs to you!
