 Charlie enjoyed camping with friends and family, staying active outdoors, and tinkering with anything that had a motor. He was a man that was never afraid to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Charles has 4 surviving siblings: Cathy (Bob) Williams of Newport, NC, Bob (Brenda) of Java, NY, Norm (Karen) of Richmond, VA, Dennis of Richmond, VA, as well as several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

 There are no prior calling hours. A celebration of Charlie’s life will be held in the near future.
