When we moved to Parkesburg Charles was one of the few people that made us feel welcome. He was truely a great man. He was warm, careing, kind, friendly and compassionate. He always made us feel welcome. He was never too busy to talk to us.
When someone tried to steal my car, and it rolled down hill and crashed into Charles's truck, he was more concerned about about my car then his truck.
He always seamed to be playing with his childern or fixing something on the house. He looked like the dad and husband all men could look up to. The kind of guy we all hope to be. We never heard an unkind word from him or his family.

He will be geatly missed.
