Charlie was a devoted father and fiercely proud of his children and especially his grandchildren. He was an amazing Papa to 4 grandkids who thought the world of him. Charlie was always ready to lend a hand, be a listening ear, crack a joke to lighten the mood, or even just to give advice and words of encouragement when needed. Though the particulars of his life's journey are many, the things that defined him was he had the ability to make the best out of every situation. He has touched so many lives with his generous spirit, warmth, and humor. He made anyone and everyone his friends. Charlie was a simple man. Family and friends and being outdoors was all he needed. The memories gathered around camp fires on our camping trips, grilling out, fishing and just being a family is what we will always remember and hold dear to our hearts. Charlie will forever be remembered for the love he gave, the laughs he shared, and the memories that will never fade.

Celebration of life will be held at a later date. The McGriff Funeral Home in Louisville is honored to be assisting the family with the arrangements. To sign the guestbook online or to share a memory or story of Charles, please visit www.mcgriffandtriplettfh.com.
