Charlie was most happy when he was spending time in the wilderness hiking, camping, hunting, and fishing.Not to mention he loved to cook and could que up some BBQ like no one else.
When he was at home, he was always outdoors working in his garden or canning, he took a great deal of pride in doing so.
Dancing was one of his best assets, he could out dance anyone. Charlie loved to dance in his own home or out so the world could see. Spending time with his family, watching everyone grow was something he took pride in knowing that it was because 2 people fell in love, he has such a big loving family.
Charlie will be dearly missed and never forgotten.
