When my mom married my Dad , she brought with her two childern Chris and I. I was two and Chris was one. My Dad adopted us and has taken care of us all of his life. We have not been the only one's there were more before and after. He always made sure everyone had what they needed. Even if he had to work harder just to make it to pay his own bills. Gardening after working in a substandered plastic plant( which the fumes hurt him in the end). He made decent money gardening and most of that helped pay his bills.   I wish I wrote down everything he talked about. He lived a interesting life. He has seen and did things most people never experience. At the age of 10 years he was expected to do mans work, because it was the depression. His father had passed and the mother had to work. So he took care of everything for her at home. Farming, taking care of his brother , sisters and his self.These things most childern now a days will never expierence. It made him the man he was and that was a honorable,decent,caring and humble man. No he was not always perfect but who is. He is and always will be my hero. I will always remember and love the man that stepped up to be my father. R.I.P. Charles E. Jordan

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time..I have practically grown up with all of you guys  and one of my teenage memories is going over to your house with your mom sitting at the table and your dad outside usually playing out in the garden or selling some tomatoes..He is in a much better place now and probably already working on a garden :) I love you all..

This is a few words I would like to say for my dad,charles
        You never said "I'm Leaving"
        You never said 'Goodbye"
        You were gone before I knew it
         And only god knew why
        A million times I needed you,
        A million times I cried
        If love alone could have saved you
         You never would of died
        In life I loved you dearly
        In death I love you still
        In my heart you hold a place,
         That no one could ever fill
         It broke my heart to lose you,
          But you didn't go alone
          For part of me went with you,
           The day God took you home.
                      I Love You Dad
                           Cheryl

Who my father was to me he was hard working and very strong. He was a good provider and later a good friend. He was a man with a since of humor and a great laugh. A man with a large heart and very giving of himself a great gardener and outdoors man. Some of the earliest memories of me and my dad his large hands reaching down and pulling me into his lap, the comforting smell on him of hard work that always made me feel safe. Walking to the shop that he worked at after school to get change for a soda and just hanging out. Going hunting with him and having to be cared all the way back to the truck half way through the night, and falling to sleep in the front seat of the truck on the way home. The fights that we had through my teenage years how he endured my behaviors and let me find my way. The last some odd years a relationship of friendship and growing love. I remember him telling me that he loved me and was proud of me, the feeling of what that meant to me, I will never forget.    I LOVE HIM AND WILL MISS HIM HE CAN NOW REST AND HAVE NO PAIN LOVE YOU DAD SEE YOU IN THE DAYS TO COME.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about Charlie. He worked with my father for a number of years at webs plastics, and was always so nice. My father (Herb Elbin) thought a lot of Charlie, as did I. He will be missed.
