We regret to announce the peaceful passing of our beloved husband, father and Grampy on Friday, September 14th at the Strait Richmond Hospital.

The final years of his life were dependent upon her and his daughter Ruth Sampson who cared for him selflessly and loved him without limit. 

As a Young Man Charlie worked as an ironworker and traveled throughout Nova Scotia to care for his family. He was a kind and loving father to his six children; Evangeline (Hubert “Cubbie”) Ruth, Darlene (Sandy), Margaret (Brent),Joseph and Francis (Melanie). He was predeceased by his son Joseph and his daughter Evangeline who greeted and received him at his moment of passing. 

Charlie was well known in the community for his good heart and strong work ethic. He was often seen riding his bicycle or working around the yard; keeping up with his gardens, building bird houses or decorating his home extravagantly for the holidays. Charlie also cared for his grandchildren throughout the years of his retirement with his wife. He loved his grandchildren dearly and treasured every moment he got to spend with them.

Charlie will be missed deeply by his family and his wife Priscilla who has been by his side through thick and thin. Although they were far from rich, they were rich in love and always made the best of what life had to offer.
