Charles had a love for sports and could stump anyone in sports trivia. “Charlie” was a frequent caller in to Buddy’s Sports Talk. He made many lifelong friends in his younger years playing fast pitch softball. He was an avid golfer with a love for the game. Charles loved cooking for family and friends. He cooked hamburgers for every home football game at U-High for fourteen years. He was known to have the best jambalaya and boiled crawfish. Charles “Poppie” loved his grandchildren greatly and looked forward to their time together. He fought hard through his illness until the end and we know he will be guiding us from Heaven.
