It was an honor to know this one of a kind man. He was gentle, kind and caring to all. Always had a hug or hand shake for you. Now you are up there with the ones you miss catching up on old times. We’ll see you again “chuckles” love and miss you.

Charlie was always a good helper on the Browns farm, he helped out all the time and all he wanted was a can of pop for his effort’s. You will be missed by many but are in a much better place, you can see dad and mom and Don, and Doug. Thanks to Virginia for taking such good care of him for all these past years, may God Bless.
