Charles worked with my father and I can promise you that Charles would make me laugh everytime I would visit NC and stop by the Men’s Wearhouse. He was always joking and fun with my 2 children and we looked forward to talking and visiting with him. A wonderful person that God must have great plans for. Thinking of you, The Dowdy Family

We are so sorry to hear about Charles. We hadn’t seen him lately and were unaware of his passing. We met him through his work and he was a great individual and one we were proud to call a friend. He always had a smile on his face and a funny story to tell. He will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Charles was my husband’s ‘personal shopper’ at the store, and we loved seeing him every time. His personality was glowing, he had a great eye, and it was always a delight to deal with him. He will be sorely missed.
George and I offer our condolences. We shall keep you in our prayers.

Tyler and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Father. He was such a loving parent. I will never forget how hard it was for him and your Mother to drop you off in that Kindergarten room the first few weeks and have to say goodby for the day. You and your sister were very blessed to have a father like him and I know how much you and the family are going to miss him.
God Bless each of you.
Prayers and Sympathy,
Judy White
We are saddened deeply by Charles’s passing. We are here for you in any way that you may need us. Our deepest sympathies are with all of you. I don’t think we ever saw him without a smile to share. I’m sure that he would want you guys to play a little disco music and smile with him. We love you.
Donna,
Sorry to hear about Charles. He was well liked by many and lived a life of cheerfulness and lovingkindness that brightened the days of many people.
It is my prayer that you and the kids will know, see, and feel the greater love of Christ during this time of mourning.
My prayers and the prayers of my family are with you and your family.
Love in Christ…
