Such a special person!
Charles is was always so nice and friendly, He was a fellow student at Rogers High School, along with his Precious wife, Sandra. My sincere Sympathy is extended to Sandra and the family. May God comfort you, with his Love and Care during this Difficult time. Pat Flynt Weaver.
It was an honor getting to know Charles and sharing stories while enjoying home cooked meals. We will miss his kindness and humility. Charles and his wonderful wife Sandra welcomed us to Alabama and treat us like family. Rest In Peace.
So sorry to Sandra,Suzanne, Charlie and Freeman for the loss of your sweet husband and daddy.I know y’all will miss him desperately.
Charles will always have a special place in our hearts. A wonderful family friend and my godfather. His hugs and deep belly laughs that could fill a room will be greatly missed. We love you Krieger family.
Love, Sarah, Cody, Luke, Charlotte, Mark, & Paul Sedlacek
