Our memories of Charley are from our days together in college at SFA in Nacogdoches. Charley was a great friend and a wonderful person. We remember Charley as a very easy going and thoughtful person that was a friend to everybody. I'm sure that these were the same qualities he had as a husband and father. Our prayers will be with Connie, Lindsay and Blake as they move forward with their lives. I'm sure that Charley will always be watching with pride.##imported-begin##Mickey & Nancy Austin##imported-end##

Mr. and Mrs. Best and Family, please accept my condolences. I went to MHS with Charley and remember him as one of the nicest there. After returning to Marshall, I had contact with him through the store. He was extremely helpful, friendly and kind. I know this is a great loss for you all and want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##Sibyl King##imported-end##

"A scene, an aroma, a feeling can rekindle memories of your loved one-and with the memories-- the pain and tears may return. In time, these memories will become a source of joy. But until then -- the Lord will comfort you in each moment of sadness."

My deepest sympathy to you, the family. Charley was one of my favorite students in Typing. Through the years I was alway delighted when he would share some of those memories with me along with what his life had encountered. I felt honored when he shared the condition of his illness with me. He was also my favorite salesman in the Marshall store. That relationship began when he was in the building across from Lewis Funeral Home. I will always cherish those fond memories of Charley.

May God comfort and keep you in His care is my prayer.

Charley was a friend and business associate for many years. I have dealt with few people who possess the honesty and integrity that Charley had. He will be greatly missed by many throughout the Ark-La-Tex. May God give you comfort and peace knowing that he is at home with our Lord.##imported-begin##Bill Starret##imported-end##
