I was fortunate to do some real estate transactions with Charles and also played several rounds of golf with him…..He really loved the game!!….He was a great communicator and we both shared a common interest in teaching and instructing……guys like Charles don’t come along very often….sincerest condolences to Charles and his family.

Charles was a giant of a man in so many ways.His heart and passion was so large for Texas Realto as well as Realtors nationwide. He continued to support the Realtor agenda and he did so many things behind the scenes that most individuals will never know. Time will reveal what a true champion Charles was. Charles passing is such a loss for the entire real estate industry. Rest in peace my friend, I truly miss you!
