Charlie was a very hard worker all his life and always provided for his families needs. His leisure time was spent in his beautiful gardens that he grew and spending time with his grandchildren always put a twinkle in his eye. Moosomin Lake held a special place in his heart, mainly because he got to visit with the campers and cabin owners he met while doing a job he loved. After retirement many mornings and afternoons where spent visiting with friends in their favourite coffee shop. He also enjoyed helping and spending time with his son, he was always willing to help and give advise advice and guidance when needed. We love and miss you Dad but you are forever in our hearts. Love Colleen, Beth, and Troy
