Prayers from our Gregory family to Charles' family in this difficult time. We have many fond memories of Charles with Grady, Mary and David over the years. I remember my Dad describing the first time Charles saw the ocean when he helped to deliver water to Charleston during Hurricane Hugo. He was always smiling.
