Birth date: Oct 9, 1939 Death date: Jul 21, 2021
Charles Franklin Leslie, 81, of Tulsa, Oklahoma passed from this life on Wednesday, July 21, 2021 following a courageous battle with multiple illnesses. He was born on October 9, 1939 in Conway, Arkansas and was the fifth son of W Read Obituary
My Uncle Charles was one of the dearest people I have ever known and he was one if the few people I know that knew how to love unconditionally and with great joy. This world is a better place because of him and i know, when we meet again it will be a day of great love and joy.
A good and faithful servant earned his wings yesterday. I met Charles (or "Dad", as he so graciously allowed me to call him) just a few short months before my own father passed away in 2006. Charles was a comforting source of wisdom and faith, and he welcomed me into his family like a second daughter! Whenever I'd visit from Florida, Charles and I spent hours watching Les Feldick and talking about the Lord. And, oh boy did he know the Word! If there's one thing I'm truly certain of, it's that Charles knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt, where he was going when he closed his eyes in this world. I'm very saddened by his loss, and my heart aches for those left behind to grieve, especially Linda, Robert, Charlotte and her girls, and my Frankie. But, deep inside I'm actually grinning, because I can just imagine the joy on Charles' face when he came face-to-face with his precious Lord and Savior! I'm grateful for the gift of having known such a man of faith and integrity, and I'll carry his memory in my heart until the day we met again in Heaven! May the blessings of peace and health be with everyone who was lucky and blessed to know him!
