Charles was a member of Shiloh General Baptist Church and former pastor of Boiling Springs Baptist Church. Charles worked at GM Corvette plant for 27 years, having retired in 2008. He also worked at FMC and Chrysler Air Temp. He was loved by coworkers and could be counted on for a job well done. He graduated from Park City High School in 1968. Charles was a quiet man, unless he was in the pulpit preaching God's Word. He dearly loved his family, which includes his church family. His favorite times were when he was surrounded by those he loved. Caring for his family, making sure they had what they needed. Ready at any time to help, he was just a phone call away. He was the husband, father, grandpa, friend, that showed his strong love and devotion. His quick wit comments were so much a part of him and will be missed so much. He tolerated traveling because his wife loved it and made the trips the best with many memories. Charles was happy with a simple life, from watching westerns, to helping friends, family, to tinkering in his garage, to hours studying the Bible. He loved Jesus and displayed a steady and strong spirit. His devoted love, funny wit, and dependability will be missed. But we hope to carry on is legacy until we meet again. See you later Grandpa.
