Charlie was an avid gardener, enjoyed reading, was an all around handy man, and had a contagious sense of humor.

Throughout the past twenty years of his illnesses he kept a positive humorous attitude. If you called his hospital room he would answer with a jolly, “Charlie’s place”. He kept everyone laughing. He loved to tell jokes. This trait he passed on to each one of his children.
