He was a longtime resident of Garland, TX for 40 years and was self employed as a commercial real estate agent for 20 years. In his younger years, he really enjoyed dancing, music and movies.

We would like to thank all of the staff at Garnet Hill Nursing Facility for all the love and care they have shown over the years to both mom and dad. Also, we would like to thank the continuous care nurses of Faith Hospice, especially Anna, for the wonderful 24/7 care they provided to dad in his final days. Dad will always be remembered by his warm and sweet ways. He was always joking with everyone; his smile and laugh were infections, even with someone he had just met, which everyone found endearing. Everyone was a “SWEETHEART” to him. Relatives and friends are invited to a visitation for Charles from 6:00-8:00pm, Wednesday, May 9th at Restland Funeral Home and his celebration of life will be at 12:00pm, Thursday, May 10th at Restland Abbey Chapel.
