He was born on October 25, 1938, in Konawa, OK. Charles was a passionate fisherman who spent his life by the water. He was known for his deep love of the water and his expert knowledge of fishing. Whether casting a line in the early morning light or sharing stories of his best catches, Charles had an unmatched connection to the water that defined much of his life. A hardworking man, Charles worked as a Superintendent at Domtar in Ashdown, AR for over 35 years. He spent countless hours on the water, always with a fishing pole in hand and a smile on his face.
