I’ll never forget the many years I worked with Charlie at Boeing. We work together on the GAM72, GAM77 and GAM87 missile programs. Plus Wilma and Charlie were members of my double ring Sunday school class for many many years.
Rest Charles, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation. U.S. Army, WWII.
Our sincere condolences. May you always have wonderful memories. Peace, comfort and be well.
What a lovely, lovely man …a loyal friend and for many years, a bridge club friend to my parents, Helen and Bob Redman. A kind, intelligent man with a soul full of Grace. It was a pleasure knowing you, Charles. Blessings to Wilma and all of his family. Dianna Redman
Charles was a one-of-a-kind man. Kind, honest and Fun!! My parents were best friends with him and they travelled together lots. Charlie was always smiling and chuckling. I had the honor of playing bridge with him and he was a delight. I will miss him❤️
