Charlie loved his family, friends and his Lord fiercely. He never looked for praises and he was never one to boast. He quietly worked for the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken and his wants were very few. More often than not, his worries went unspoken. A firm foundation through the storms of life, he was a sturdy hand to hold onto in times of stress and strife. He was a strong man to turn to when times were good or bad.
