Bill was one of the kindest men that I have ever had the privledge to know. He was never judgemental and at my lowest time, he had only kind and supportive words for me. I will always remember and cherish the way he touched my life. Rest in peace.

Grandpa Charles was visiting us in Colorado Springs, and we all went bowling. We had so much fun, and he beat the socks off all of us.

Dear Charles Family, It is with my deepest sorrow that I send this little message. I have lost loved ones in the past and I found that comfort from the scriptures are what brought me the most help in part Revelation 21:3-4.
