When you are sorrowful look again to your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which as been your delight.

In loving memory of a dear and delightful friend.
The Eyre Children says
As we are all together today we are reminiscing about our Daddy. The constant tricks he would play on us using sharpie pens on our toes when we fell asleep first, when we had sleepovers. He made it to every softball, baseball, soccer, football game, band performance we had and the grandkids “made” him go to. He of course had a better view of the calls made by the referees but over time kept it out of hearing range of the referees.(or so he thought)We are looking at pictures and realizing what fun we all had with him in our own special ways. He will be missed by all of us. He is loved by Carol, Derek ,Louise, Yvonne, and Heather. Of course we all know his favorite was Louise. 🙂

Darlene Ann Whatley says
I met Charlie at Lake Monroe.It was always more fun with Charlie around.I’ve never had a conversation with Charlie that didn’t have me laughing. Good-bye Charlie. Your wonderful spirit will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to the family. You are in my prayers.
Mr and Mrs Randall Jenkins says
Charlie and I met when we were planning Scott and Yvonne’s wedding. We shared school date’s with the kids. One time we had lunch with them at school and I ask Charlie what he was going to do when he left and he said go home and eat. I guess that tells you about the school lunches that they pay for. He was a wonderful person. I find it hard to believe that Charlie had a favorite in his children or grandchildren. I think he loved them all the same. Colin and Brooke always called him pa pa. I would find birthday cards he had given them. He loved everybody. Good bye Charlie and we will miss you. Love, Barbara and Randy.
Mark Gina Chapple says
Our hearts and prayers are with you.
Doug Gray says
Though it’s been a while since I had seen you I have never forgotten the times on the field together and what you did for me personally off the field.
