Dan and I send you our love and prayers at this difficult time. What a wonderful life Charlie lived, and what a wonderful family he and Marge created.
Sorry for your loss
My heart goes out to the family; I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve only known Grandpa since Anne (my sister) married into the family 10 years ago, but he was such a bright light. He always got me rolling with laughter with his jokes (clean or not-so-clean) and witty humor. He loved deeply and made you feel so special every time you were around him. He was a great man and touched so many lives. We’ll all miss him until we see him again. Hugs to the family.
I knew Charlie and Marge from years ago at First Baptist and the Rainbow Ranch. My mom and dad, Harold and Marion Pigman, were longtime members. I just recently started attending First Baptist again and had the pleasure of visiting Charlie a few weeks ago. It brought back many great memories. One of them being David following me around church when we we kids and he would twirl his fingers in my long curls.
Prayers and condolences to the family.
