Charlie, who had earned the rank of Eagle Scout, had completed his high school education at Highland Park and was now enrolled at Southern Methodist University.

During his time at SMU, he was an enthusiastic participant in both the BYX and Wesley House organizations. He was a devout Christian who attended church regularly and had a passion for playing hymns on the piano. His favorites were “Amazing Grace” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
He had an intense love for his buddies, his brothers, and his family. We will never forget you, Charlie, and we love you very much. Cheers!
