I had the pleasure of seeing Charlie every three months as a client of Charlie's employer.  He always had a smile. A good word. He was good at his job. Having experienced how wonderful he was with a customer, I imagine he was even better with his family. Charlie  you will be missed by more than each of us can imagine.

Hearing the news of losing my dearest cousin Chogie passing broke my heart.  Remembering the things we did together as kids, puts a smile on my face and happiness in my heart. As we grow up, even if we don't see each other or speak often., those memories always keep us in touch. There are no goodbyes until we see each again. As you have gained your wings & now an Angel with the rest of our loved ones. You'll always be in my heart no more pain. Rest n Peace cousin you will be truly missed.

Love you Josie Villareal Martinez

When you lose a loved one, a void is created in your life. Memories will be cherished in your heart and brought to mind many times. Uncle Charlie is now in the hands of the Lord.  Hortencia Stephens 

I would like to share our connection to Charles.  He was our tech that performed all of the alarm inspections at our office. Just like clock work he would show up for the quarterly inspections, always smiling and ready to get to it.  He took pride in his work and was great at it. He  had a positive outlook on everything and  always said he was blessed. 

Charlie, we are going to miss hearing the sound of your key chain, full of keys, jingling through the hallways, but now when I hear that sound I will know of another angel that got his wings.    

God bless to his family and everyone reading this. 

Uncle Chogie, you will be missed. Thank you for being such a kind and fun uncle. Always with a smile telling jokes and keeping us laughing. May you rest in peace with our Lord and our past love ones. Holding you close in our hearts. Love, Tina McClaine.

I have worked with Charlie off and on over the last 10 years with TIS and JCI. He was such a happy person and he brightened my day every single time I got to talk with him! His good attitude and happy soul was infectious and that is rare now a days, he will be greatly missed by many here at JCI. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort in knowing he is with our lord Jesus Christ in heaven. 

Wishing the family and friends peace and comfort during this difficult time.  You are in my prayers. 

I can still remember the first time I spoke with Charlie.  I met him at work over the phone and he had me in stitches.  He talked about how he loved animals (dogs).  His stories were so funny.   I'll never forget the story about the M&M's up the nose.  He had me laughing so hard, I could barely breathe.  :)    Charlie was always a pleasure to speak to and would put a smile on my face every time.   He was such a fun and positive person.  

Charlie, I never had the opportunity to meet you in person but the memories of our fun conversations will forever be with me.   I'll miss you, but I know God has a wonderful new Angel.

Rest in Peace!!



I worked with Charlie for the last 5 years, managing his schedule.  While we never met face to face, I will say that I considered him a friend.  His smile always came through on the phone, & he always had a tone of laughter that would make my day brighter.  I shall miss the sound of his voice.  He was always a warm spirit who gave the best of himself.  He never let the bad things interfere with doing his best for his customers & his co-workers.  My thoughts & prayers are with his friends & family.
Rest in Peace, Charlie.

I have worked with Charlie basically since 1980, starting at Smith Alarm Systems ( which later became a subsidiary company of ADT). 

After I married his niece, he was Uncle Charlie.
We had some good times together working at:
Smith Alarm which was bought by ADT which spunoff into TycoIS which merged with Johnson Controls.  

Charlie used to like to fish at Lake Ray Hubbard and did have his own bass boat.

I am going to miss Chogie. He was my friend.

I have  work with Charlie for a long time. Charlie was a good person. 

A very close & dear friend to me & many of you as well has passed away & gone to heaven a place he so greatly deserves. His passing will leave a deep hole in my heart even though I know he wouldn’t have wanted that. I’m sending my prayers to his family & friends for the loss of this Great Man. Definitely one of a kind.









Cousins and family I offer my heartfelt condolences may Chogie's soul rest in peace with our heavenly father.
I pray for peace and comfort for everyone at this difficult time and offer my condolences. I will forever cherish my childhood memories of Chogie and always have them in my heart. 
No more pain, RIP Chogie

Love Ora
