  1. Stanley, Bradley, Laura,
    Kim and I are grieved for you all in your loss of Charles. A great man who loved his family and friends. He was a great friend to Howard, Kim’s father. Kind and friendly to everyone. He was especially encouraging to me when I was principal at Westmoore. He had a great love for the school and community. He will be missed. May God cradle you all in His loving arms in your grief and in the days to come. Bruce and Kim Williams

  2. Laura, Mark, Sarah Ann, Lydia and Rachel – Thinking of you and sending deepest sympathy to you and your entire family.

  3. I met Charles while working in Robbins Mills in 1980 he and my father Russell Cox were fixing looms there. He told me when I just married whatever you do don’t be afraid to go in debt just bite the bullet and do it while your young and able to work. He said that was the only way to have something to show for your years of hard work. Well that turned out to be this best advice he could give and I even have said that saying to others starting out. I give him all the credit for his words of wisdom. Experience from older folks can be worth paying attention to. Rest in peace and thanks for your heartfelt advice.
