Charles was a loving husband, parent, grandpa and great grandpa. He also loved his animals which were schnauzer and his little weenie dog. Some have gone before him: Jazzphor, Texquila-Rose, Paxztun and Max who will meet him at the rainbow bridge.

He is also survived by special friends Vicky, Marguerite, Debi, Ramona and Richard; and his special niece, Amanda Desha.
