Sending our love and deepest sympathy. We will always remember his servants heart and how he was serving as a host at North Central even in this past year. His service will be greatly missed here on the earth, but know he is now eternally in The Lord service.
Judy, our hearst were so sad when we learned of Charlie’s passing to be with the Father. So very sorry we did not know of his failing health which is our being amiss in staying in touch. You and the kids are definitely in our prayers. We rejoice with Charlie that he has finished the race which he ran quite well. He was a giving and loving man and will always remember his gentleness and the smile that was on his face most of the time. We have been blessed and honored to know him. We are sad that we will not be able to make the memorial service but will be with you in spirit. We love you and will keep you lifted in prayer or our Father for healing.
Love, Doug and Sindy
To Judy, Stephanie, Steve, Preston, Page and all the family–
We were so very sorry to of Charles’ death just before the New Year. He was a wonderful Christian man, father, husband, grandfather, and church leader. All of you were such a great encouragement to us when we were together at Overland Park in Kansas City and, though we did not see you often in recent years, I am so glad I got to see Charles in San Antonio last fall. I know you will miss him dearly, but truly he has gone on to a better place. All of our lives are richer for having known him.
Much love,
David and Sally Davenport
My sympathies to the family of a wonderful man and a great leader. Only fairways and greens for you now Charles.
