Charlie met Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savious when he was 21 years old at a Billy Graham Crusade, that he did not want to attend. He agreed to attend to please his lovely wife, Charlie never met a stranger and he never missed an opportunity to tell what Jesus had done for him. He always began a conversation with the important questions, "Have you met the Lord? Do you know the Good News? Do you know where you will spend eternity? Do you know Jesus?"
Charlie was a patriot that loved the United States and served in the Air Force as soon as he was old enough to enlist.
