Papa Charlie, You are the greatest man I've ever known. I'm so grateful that I got to call you my Papa. I will miss listening to your stories and the way you always made me laugh. I will never forget all of the things you taught me over the years that will stick with me forever. You taught me right from wrong. You taught me all about classic country music. You taught me that families stick together no matter what. You taught me to never give up and always try your best. You taught me about history with your stories about when you were in the Navy. But most importantly you taught me about the unconditional love between a girl and her grandpa, her hero. You will forever be missed Papa. Things will never be the same without you. I love you Your granddaughter, Sarah PS- In a world where there seems to be fewer and fewer heroes, Please Papa Charlie I hope you know, that you will always be a Hero in my eyes.
