Charles will be missed. He was a great cousin.
I think I’ve known Charles most of my life,.and it was so neat to reconnect with him at the various reunions we had after many years of not seeing classmates..We rode the same school bus for many years..And he always had something funny to say.or laugh about.. My memories are fun happy ones of him. I will miss not seeing him.
Mr Dodson was a proud Christian American Patriot and fellow Shipmate and I will miss him dearly our morning trips to the VA and how he always talked so fondly of his family always helped lift my spirits every morning You will be missed but I know you are with the Lord and my prayers are with your family during their loss
