One of my most fond memories of Charlie was from years ago when my son was about seven years old.

John Colby and I were riding over to Rich Square to the funeral home to take something to Scott about 9:30 one night. John Colby ask me what time is was and I told him 9:30pm. He waited a short amount of time and ask me the time again and I gave him the time. He ask me again and again what time it was, so finally I said, “What difference does it make, what time it is?” John Colby said,”Mr. Charlie said they roll the bridge up between Scotland Neck and Rich Square at 11 o’clock each night and I want to make sure we are back across the bridge before 11 o’clock. I picked up the car phone and called Charlie, he was laughing so hard that the phone was shaking. This has been a running joke between John Colby and Charlie for years.

Charlie, you will be missed greatly. You had a smile that could light up a room and heart that could fill a room. I am, as are Scott, Sarah Gregory, and John Colby, so blessed to have had you in our lives. We will cherish the memories forever. We love you Charlie.

He was a great example for his children and neighboring youth. The world needs more men like Charlie. Luv you Cindy. Keep smiling. He’s watching you.

Prayers and love to you Cindy, Courtney and Chase. We have been thinking of you a lot. Now our little Kayla has another person to watch out for her in heaven. Wonder if Charlie will call her Kayla “Gunkells”…he always called John that. Love and special blessings to you all.

I can only imagine the number of folks Charlie is making smile right now. The selfish part of me grieves and wishes Charlie was still with us, the unselfish part of me is shedding tears of joy for Charlie to be out of the pain and suffering. My prayer is that you three will find peace in knowing Charlie is in a better place and is enjoying his parents, his nephew, Bigmama and Bigdaddy, Bernice Jr, Jaybird and the many others who welcomed him at the Golden Gate.

Love you all

Angela
