I am so sorry for your loss. My parents, Judy & Lin Floyd, were friends with your parents in their young life and spent many happy times together. Mr Charles was always a very kind and gentle man – always willing to lend a helping hand with a smile on his face. I am very happy that our parents are now in heaven together having good times just as they did here on earth. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Pat (Floyd) Hill

Laura and Jay and family, I am sending love and condolences from the bottom of my heart. This sweet man indulged our imaginations as kids and was always so welcoming and kind. He was my first father figure who epitomized what being a dad is supposed to be like. He will be missed here, but I know we all can take comfort in knowing he and Betty are together again.

Words can not express the sadness you all feel & we share with you. Charles was always willing to take time out to spend with us as children when Granny & GrandDaddy Sexton got together with our parents. He was a true gentleman always so loving and playful when we were small. I have very fond memories of them all, they were definitely extended family. Condolences from Joyce, Beverly & Helen.
