Charles went to be with his heavenly father on Thursday, February 4, 2021. He was born on March 27, 1938 in Childress, TX. He was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. He will be missed by all who knew him. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Sulphur Springs. Charles was a proud Air Force Veteran, he loved his sales, and his last few years he loved being a courier for Alliance Bank. But what he enjoyed best was his Sunday School Class. Charles was such a people person. That’s what helped him accel in his career of sales.
