Charlie was one of the finest men I had the pleasure to know. I first met Charlie when we worked at Giant Food Markets in Johnson City . Later in life , when I moved back to Tennessee , Charlie was instrumental in helping remodel our home place . He was very knowledgeable with a lot of common sense on how things worked and could fix most anything that was not working right. I value our time together , and wished there had been much more. My prayers go out to you Eva and to your beautiful family. We will be missed by many. Love you, RIck & Barbara
