He was blessed with 17 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren
. Special thanks to Jason for his loving care during his stepfather’s illness and Hospice in His Care of Baton Rouge. Charles was a faithful member of Cornerstone Fellowship of Central for many years.
He was an avid hunter and loved traveling before his medical challenges limited him, but his greatest joy was his grandchildren and great grandchildren. One of the things that will be missed by all are the one-line jokes that Charles was quick to share.
