ching his sons' baseball teams and his daughter's softball teams. He had a way of making each of the kids feel special and he let them know that each of them was important and needed on his teams. He always had a story or funny joke to lighten the feelings of the kids when they needed it. The little nicknames he had for them was his way of letting them know how special they were to him. He loved giving the end of season parties too, that is where he got to be silly with the players and of course, feeding everyone. He was an avid sportsman and loved talking sports with you. He loved duck hunting, deer hunting, fishing, and horse racing. He loved everything to do with the outdoors. He loved sports, hunting, gardening and his pool. He so enjoyed sitting outside watching and listening to the rain - plus "talking" to the wildlife here. Charlie enjoyed the poker games with his friends, not just because he loved poker, but because he loved his friends and the laughter. Charlie was a standout football player at Northampton High School earning the nickname "Shag Nasty" and "Choo Choo Charlie" for his skills with the ball and his speed. He earned a football scholarship to Chowan University, North Carolina. Charlie retired from CSX Railroad in Walbridge, Ohio. He lived his dream of retiring in Florida and he was so proud of the beautiful home he built there for his wife and family. Charlie's dream was to also win the Lottery for his family, but we all hit something bigger than the lottery because we had Charlie, Dad, Pops, Grandpa and Papa in our lives. He will forever be loved and missed. We would like to invite you to a Celebration of Charlie's life on August 12, 2018 at Faith United Methodist Church, 111 Main St. Lucky, Ohio 43443 between the hours 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
