Charles was a proud veteran and served honorably in the United States Army. A truly amazing man, Charles loved with all of his heart, especially his family. He gave the very best hugs and was always smiling. He had a great sense of humor and never met a stranger. Charles was generous and would give anyone the shirt off of his back, if needed. A meat cutter by trade, Charles eventually became the supervisor over approximately a dozen meat departments at various Piggly Wiggly stores in Eastern North Carolina.
Charles leaves behind a legacy of love that includes his loving wife of 53 years, Teresa McGrady; four children of whom he was extremely proud, Charles Lee McGrady (Trina), Shawn Patrick McGrady (Amy), Christina Renae Peck (Christopher), and Crystal Gail Harris (Jason); twelve grandchildren, Heather German (Keith), Olivia McGrady, Makayla McGrady, Hunter McGrady, Liam McGrady, Shamus McGrady, Madeline McGrady, Mary Liliana Peck, Meela Peck, Christian Cotto, Andrew Harris, and Kole Harris; two great grandchildren, Emmett and Kaia German; and sister, Irene Honeycutt.
In lieu of a formal service, the family will have a celebration of Charles' life, to include a Pig-Pickin' complete with his favorite "Shady Wangs." A date and time will be announced later.
