He is survived by his son Bill; daughter Laurie; granddaughter Chelsea and son-in-law Bruce Wardrope; sisters, Betty Ferguson, Mabel Wilson and brother Ronald; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He came to Canada with his brother Bill at the age of 18, and settled in Alberta, a province he loved. He was very proud to serve with the South Alberta Regiment (tank corps) in the Second World War, and was an active participant in their annual reunions. Returning from the war Charlie apprenticed as a carpenter and worked in the construction industry throughout Western Canada rising to the level of superintendent. His most notable projects were: the EPCOR Water Towers, Kinsmen Field House and St. Andrews Church.
