Charles always found the time to come by and check on daddy and now they are keeping check on us.He loved his family and his friends. You are a special husband, father, grandpa, and uncle we will see each other again.
So sad to say goodbye to family – Charles was my uncle.. I remember telling my teacher in grade school that he was my older brother – it seemed good to have an older brother. I was always fond of him – will never forget the day my folks and I moved away from Madison County – still remember seeing Granny and Charles standing on the porch, waving until I could see them no more – tears on both sides. My deepest condolences to Peggy, Ann and Mike and grandchildren. May God give you sweet comfort!
So very sorry to hear of Mr. Stevens passing. I have the very fondest memories of him from many years ago. Very special prayers for Peggy, Ann and Mike.
Charlie was a member and a good friend of American Legion Post 70 for many years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Peggy and the family.
