Charlie was blessed with many talents. He served in the Navy, preached, sang gospel music, played the piano a little, could make any vehicle run and purr like a kitten, loved farming & gardening. He loved telling someone about Jesus and how He died for their sins. He had a resourceful way about him and was always willing to lend a hand to someone in need. He had three favorite mottos he lived by: Life is never going to be just like you want it to be, it is up to you to pick yourself up and keep going; Be your best, look your best, and do your best-you will know if you did your best by the consequences; always be patriotic. Most of all, he wanted everyone to know Jesus as their personal Saviour and Lord.
