Charles was born December 5, 1939, in Union, Mississippi. He proudly served our country with the U.S. Marine Corps and attended Crossgates Baptist Church. He worked in the lab for Cataphote Inc. for many years and later enjoyed a second career with Jitney from which he retired. Charles was a “fixer” and he loved building and creating. Never happier than when outdoors he could often be found doing yard work or tending his garden. He also enjoyed fishing, traveling with his wife for their annual September trips to Destin, FL, and he was an avid LSU fan.
Survivors include his beloved wife of 50 years, Carolyn L. Bradley; daughter, Elizabeth Mangrobang and husband Rucel; granddaughter, Hana Mangrobang; and aunts, cousins, extended family and friends.
