Charlie was one of the sweetest men I had the pleasure of knowing. He always talked about his kids and grandkids. Once he found out my s/o hunts it was game over. I'd bring pictures in of the deer for him. Charlie always cracked me up when it came to his Frank's hot sauce. Few times he'd run out I'd bring it in for him or hunting for a jalapeño plant for his garden. Always having an aloe Vera plant in the summer for sunburn for whomever needed it. Going to miss you buddy.
I have been friends with Charlie since I met him over at Tendercare before he moved to Oakview. We became friends when I heard he liked to hunt and told him our son Jimmy owns the Michigan Out Of Doors TV show! That led to arranging to take him turkey hunting one spring day here in Ludington. He was thrilled to b out in the woods in a blind again and even tho he didn’t see any turkeys I know it was a blessing for him!! He also enjoyed the Venison jerky I took over a few times as well! He sure took pride in those vegetable plants he raised at Oakview. I’m sorry I didn’t know he was close to passing as I hadn’t contacted him since before COVID. He attended our Bible studies at Tendercare and then a few when he moved over to Oakview. I regret not visiting him in the hospital ,if that’s where he died. Not being a relative I probably couldn’t have anyway. He was a jovial fellow who suffered so much since waking up one morning and being paralyzed. I am hoping and praying he truly had accepted Jesus as his savior and is finally free of all pain and misery he had to endure. He sure loved his family and always talked glowingly about those grandkids. It brought such joy to his life when you all visited him!!! It was a pleasure knowing him and I will praying for your family in this loss. If there is a service I would love to attend.

Charles was a very special friend to us. Joe went to school with Charles, and I got to know him at Johnny's. He was part of our wedding. He was always so happy and always had a smile on his face. Once we moved out of state we always visited Charlie when we came home. He's definitely part of a lot of our memories and he will never be forgotten by us. We are both so glad we got to be friends with him and know him for as long as we did.

I worked at Oakview & took care of Charlie.😂he really enjoyed my singing..NOT!!
I remember walking in his room and ask him if he knew this name of a song,,and start singing the song in my head,, his comment was something like owww God not again 😂😂. I truly enjoyed our many conversations we had Over the years. 🥲❤️
Charlie was such a great guy, he loved loved his family and would talk about you all all the time . I have been apart of his care since he came to Tendercare and then onto Oakview. I told him he just missed me but the truth is I missed him and will miss him terribly. We talked hunting all the time. I know he is in heaven now gardening and walking around eating whatever he likes now . My sincere heartfelt condolences for you all.
So sorry to hear about Charlie. I really enjoyed caring for him while I was at oakview. My husband would always make him bbq ribs for me to take into him because he didn't like the food. Loved seeing his smile.
