How I miss you Uncle Charlie .  It’s one year since you left us and the only way to feel peace is knowing you loved the Lord.   I remembered when you asked me about being born again. The next day you told me you prayed for forgiveness and acknowledged  Jesus as Lord.  You sounded like a happy child.  That was the most important thing you did and made me so happy.  I miss the calls you did on New Years .  When you would blow the party whistle into the phone around midnight.  I miss the wonderful conversations everyday , making up for the years we missed .  You are an amazing man who loved your family sooo much .  You always gave to others unselfishly .You left all that loved  you with the happiest of memories 💕🙏. Love you so much ,  from your niece Margie

I’m really gonna miss you, Mr Charles. Lunch dates, stories, watching your favorite shows, and that smile! You were a GREAT man❤️ forever in my heart! We love you!

My Uncle Charlie kept his handsome looks till the end.  😊❤️.  What I’m grateful for is Jody’s  dedication and tremendous love she showed him in the past years.  He always spoke about Jody  with such gratefulness and joy.  His time with her and Wayne made his last years extraordinary .  He would tell me every week all about the time he spent with them . He looked forward to the holidays with such excitement and anticipation.   Jody would decorate his house inside and out for every holiday. She is amazing! He looked forward to Wayne’s cooking on the weekends. In his last years he was the happiest .  He was loved and cared for dearly.  He was a lot of fun .  Happy memories is what he gave me.  I truly miss talking with him.  LOVE YOU UNCLE  CHARLIE ❤️❤️❤️🕊️

Sad our time ended like it did. I always had you in my thoughts. This memory was a fun memory out having a good time.

Charlie was a lover of dogs. This picture was taken on the day we brought home our new pup, Murphy and wanted the first neighbor to meet him to be Mr. Charlie. He was our first lab's  very best friend and together we mourned our boys passing. I know our Brach was at the gates of heaven waiting for his buddy, Mr Charlie. 
We will miss our sweet neighbor and friend. 
The Hudgins family (Penny, Ron & Murphy)

Sending heartfelt condolences to the family. Mr. Charlie was our neighbor. He was always so kind and I loved to talk with him when he was riding on his scooter through the neighborhood. He had so much wisdom to share. He had a very sharp mind and he remembered our daughter Stephanie’s birthday every year. He would always put her a birthday card in the mailbox for her.  To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. He lived a blessed life.

My Uncle served in the the Marines in Korea .  I believe this was 1951.  (Chosin Reservoir).  He sent me many photos of him and his buddy’s.  I am proud to have known this wonderful man , my Uncle,  who served our country to keep America safe and free. He was a real Marine his whole life till the end .  What a blessing he was to his family , friends and neighbors.  Everyone loved him.  I’m proud to be an American because of real true American Patriots  like my Uncle Charlie. I miss him dearly. ,  Much love from your niece ,  Margie ✝️🙏🕊️❤️

I believe this picture he sent to me was from 2021 .  He was helping out at Jody’s house. My Uncle is an amazing , kind, thoughtful and caring man.  We had lots of conversations where he made me smile and laugh a lot. He is the best Uncle anyone could ask for.  He always gave the best gifts and was an avid Amazon shopper😊. His mind was sound and very sharp.  He sent every dog I had and the cat many gifts.  He loved all animals.  I was so blessed to know this extraordinary man “ my Uncle Charlie” ❤️.  I miss him sooo much already.  May God comfort the hearts of all loved ones ..  As he enters into the presence of God , he is in the most beautiful place there is.  I LOVE YOU UNCLE CHARLIE .  ❤️✝️🙏🕊️. Your niece,   Margie
