Condolences
As a boy I can remember Charles working on the Sawmill. I would go there with my wagon to get slabs to build me a Fort and I know I got in Charles road, but he sometimes helped me get the better slabs. Fond memories.
Charles was my uncle, my mom's brother. He was always so quiet when we were there, but he always smiled whenever anyone talked to him. I know my mom misses him dearly. Thoughts and prayers go to the others brothers, Junior, and Kenneth, and my mom, Helen. Charles, you wll be missed greatly.
This is from his niece, Marge.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Marion County Senior Citizens.
