Sorry to find that Charles had passed. Charles and his parents were very close friends with my parents (Vic and Rose Marie Rosser) when we lived in Ruston in the late 40’s (I was a little child then). I have a painting hanging in my house that Charles did in 1950. It was originally given to my mother and was passed on to me about 30 years ago. We last visited with Charles and his parents around 1969.

I am sorry that we couldn't make Uncle Charles' funeral. Michael sent me pics and Mom said it was a great service. Please know that we are praying for y'all. I have many memories of Uncle Charles especially that roaring laugh of his. I cherish the paintings I have and think of him each time I see them! Love, Tamera

He was an extraordinary individual, inspirational, one with whom I enjoyed being with during the times I visited him on Mercer St., and at other times on "Ford Hill." Our love and prayers go out to all the family.Robert & Jan Frazier

Always loved by his family!He will be greatly missed. Like his mom and dad, thoughtful and kind, who saw the beauty in all things God created. His delight in the simplest of things was significant, and mattered to him. I heard him sing "The Holy City" as a child. A beautiful voice, he sang with passion, now enjoying that heavenly home with His Savoir, family and friends.Uniquely created, uniquely remembered, his greatest treasure was in his son and grandchildren, his lasting legacy and gifts from God.
