Every morning before Charles started his day, he would read scriptures from his Bible. Charles walked three miles every morning until his health started to decline. Charles enjoyed watching basketball and football, attending Family Reunions, and playing Keno at the Casino. In Nov 2008 Charles started on dialysis. He received his last treatment Oct 23, 2021. Despite Charles’ health issues, he loved life and he loved his family. His visits back home to Columbus always brought him absolute joy! Everyone who met him enjoyed his presence and always had fond things to say about him, especially his laughter and kindness. His laughter would light up the whole room. Not only could you hear his big, boisterous laugh, but you could also feel the pure happiness he felt. Charles will be truly missed by all those who experienced the Blessing of knowing and loving him!
