Charlie proudly served in the United States Navy. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed time spent fishing, golfing, hunting and walking on the beach searching for shark’s teeth. He had a great passion for working jigsaw puzzles and playing cards with his family and friends, but his true passion in life was his grandchildren and cheering them on! He will be deeply missed.
