Charles was as passionate about life as he was about the activities he loved. He found joy on the golf course, enjoyed hunting and fishing, and cherished sunny days by the river. A barbecuing enthusiast, he loved gathering with friends and family around the grill. Charles was also a faithful attendee at Elliott Ministries.
