Charlie (our Dad) loved to have a gathering and seeing people have a good time. So to see us all being here to celebrate his life is an understatement! He's with us now playing his guitar with that amazing smile on his face singing "House of Gold", So let's all continue Charlie's (Dad"s) tradition "living and loving like there's no tomorrow"
As we walk out of here today let's all toast and say our Dad's favorite quote:
"Long to live well to do
Hope that devil don't get a few
Peace at home, peace abroad
Love your wife and serve the Lord"
