Charles' passion in life was flying. He left Texas A&M University in 1942 to join the United States Navy during WWII to pursue aviation. He later joined the Coast Guard during the Korean War to continue flying PBM's on Maritime Patrols and Search & Rescue Missions. Charles loved his family and valued the simplicity of life. He is now on a new journey, one that has been met with tremendous strength and courage. We, his family, will hold him forever close in our hearts. He will always be our source of strength and will bind us together forever.
