A proud United States Marine, Charles dedicated over 20 years of his life to serving his country with honor. His discipline, loyalty, and quiet resilience shaped not only his military career but the way he approached every chapter of his life.
Charles is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Carol Ann Lord, who remained his steadfast partner through every joy and hardship. Together they built a family grounded in love, humor, and deep connection.
He leaves behind his daughter Robin Carrie Bond (husband Brett) and his son Charles Randolph Lord (wife Mallory). Charles was also a proud Grandpa to Skylar and Aubrey, who brought him joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose in his later years.
Charles will be remembered for his dry wit, his quiet wisdom, and the way he showed love through action more than words. He was a man who stood tall—both in stature and in character—and whose presence made others feel safe, supported, and grounded.
His legacy lives on in the family he cherished, the values he instilled, and the countless lives he touched through his service and his kindness.
