Charlie was a truck driver, most of his life, but also worked as an auto mechanic in Gadsden. He was an avid fan of racing and enjoyed camping and fishing. He loved listening to the old country, gospel, and rock and roll music from his younger years, and he valued the old-fashioned ways of life .
He was a Christian, accepting Jesus as his savior at the age of 65, and was baptized in the creek at Homestead Hollow in Springville, Alabama. He was stubborn with a quick wit, and he loved his family and friends so deeply, always making sure they stayed safe by reminding them “Rubber side down, shiny side up.” He will be missed immensely. To know him was t o love him!
A Celebration of Life will be held in his honor on Oct. 12th @ 3:00 in the afternoon @ The Church at Bradford Road in Springville, AL.
