The memory I have of Charles is him sitting at the back of the church during service with Jerry sitting in his lap. Looking back I think Jerry must have been permanently attached to him. LOL I know he will be missed by anyone that knew this kind man.

The AHS Class of 1968 had the pleasure of enjoying Charles present at many of our AHS Class of 1968 -Get Together's. Charles also seemed to enjoy them also. He was a wonderful man with a beautiful smile. What we all remember about Charles is how polite and thankful he was and how will he treated his wife- Gladys, they both seem so happy. All of our class members send our sincere sympathy on your great loss. Charles will definitely be missed. Prayers to you Gladys and your Family. Your classmates from Aberdeen's Class of 1968.

From the very first time I met Charles, it was obvious he was in love with my cousin Gladys. From the day they married, I watched them have a wonderful marriage, raising two beautiful children together, and surviving all good and bad things that came along with living on this earth. Charles loved his family with passion. Every day I knew him, he lived his life serving Jesus as his Saviour. The funniest thing I ever remember about Charles, was the shock on my face the first time I saw him in his speedo swimming while his wife, my husband and I were on vacation together. Charles was a conservative man, except when he went swimming, where he did not like the trappings of heavy swim trunks to weigh him down. I will remember Charles with fondness, and a smile. My heart goes out to his children, and my cousin Gladys. I know we all will see Charles again one day.

To my sister and all the family Charles was very special and that is probably an understatement because sometimes words can not describe a person. He was a loving and devoted husband, a loving and teacher to two beautiful children and a fun loving grandpa to his grandchildren. He lived a simple life, accomplishing so many things. He was very soft spoken and in his smile you could feel such a wonderful spirit. He made you feel welcomed wherever he was and wherever you met him. May his spirit continue to shine through Gladys, Shelley, Gerry and all who knew and were touched by him. He was a wonderful brother in law and I will miss him so much.

I had the pleasure of working next to Charlie at the Horizontal Saws, in the sawmill. Charlie was always in a great mood, it took quite a bit to change that. He would brighten up my day if I was in some sort of slump. He was hard working man, could usually keep up with me lol...My condolences go out to his family :-)

Probably my earliest memory of Charles was going to feed cow(s) out west of town on the very piece of ground our house now occupies. I remember him gently leading me by the hand along the path and pointing out things of interest along the way. Through the years, I remember times that he might share a story, very often with some wry humor and a bit of laughter mixed in. He was such a gentle spirit, and it's a comfort to know the Lord now gently leads him by the hand. We'll all miss him.

Chas was my "Quiet Spirit" the one I called my little brother...took him to Disney Land when he was 8 on my first out of State car adventure. Helped him learn how to spell and how to swim in the Wynooche River...saw him copy my "slicked-back hair-oiled duck-tail"...watched him enjoy clam digging and cleaning clams...also tagging along on all the out-door escapades...going to the movies, sneaking to "Gean's Stop and Go" for soft ice cream cones...and finally having him as a member of the "Young-Pillars" singing group where he met the love of his life, Gladys...I will truly miss this guy...my best friend and little brother!! Loved you Chas! Praying with you and your family...Love Charlie.

When I first stepped foot in a mill, green as heck I was put as Charlie's off bearer instead of the green chain because it was full. I remember Charlie just being calm and collective even though we were buried as far as I could see and it just didn't seem to bother him, he knew we would eventually be caught up. I would constantly try to basically get in the way and try to help and he would say it's ok I got it. That man out worked guys half his age till the day that mill burnt down. Then just a couple years later he was running my saws and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better sawyer. Always cared if something wasn't right or if he screwed up a saw. I am so sorry for your loss he was a great caring man and just always a pleasure he will surely be missed.
