Rest peacefully charles. You were loved - Job 14:14 & 15
It was an honor to know Charles. I will cherish the times we spent serving on the Bowie Parks & Recreation Board. I learned a lot from him serving on the Board since its inception. Proudly served with Charles for over 25 years. Second Monday Trades Days was greatly improved through his leadership. I'm sure he is walking around somewhere looking for the next good deal on a gun or hound dog!!! Rest in Peace Charles.
So sorry to hear of Charles' passing. You are in our prayers. Eddie and Brenda Milligan 8
I know my mom and dad would be very saddened to hear of Charlie's passing. I remember hearing many stories around the dinner table, both funny and about lots of hard work, during our time with the crew in the Pampa plant and then during the period when we joined everyone in Chico-Bowie. My deepest sympathies to Shelia and all who were close to Charlie. - Jeff Carruth, son of Dayne ("Red") and Beverley Carruth.
