He was known for his unwavering work ethic, always going the extra mile to ensure the highest quality in all that he did.

However, Charles was much more than his professional accomplishments. He was a loving husband to his wife of 58 years, Brenda Lawless, and a doting father to their two children, Gregg lawless and Stefanie Lawless. He cherished family above all else, and his devotion was unwavering. His love and guidance will forever be a source of strength and inspiration for his family.
