Charlie, you were a great mentor and friend. I cherish the time we spent together and will definitely miss your sense of humor. You've finally made it back to Bedias! I look forward to the day me meet again in the Celestial Lodge above. Until then, Charles by God, I miss you and love you Brother. Great memories my Friend!!!
Granddaddy we will always love and miss you. I enjoyed our many conversations over the past years and will remember everything I ever learned from you. RIP Bearhide

Charles and Betty were our neighbors for over 40 years. They were good friends to us also. Charlie helped Terry work on our cars and gave him good advice also. Rest in peace Charlie.
Dads are someone to look up to, someone to follow, someone to admire, someone to be proud of and someone to brag about, someone to hold and someone to cry with, someone to learn from and someone to respect, someone to listen to and someone to talk to, someone to try and impress, sometimes rebel against, and, someone, most of all, with whom to share everything this wonderful life has to offer.
We are so incredibly grateful and happy that we can stand here today and tell you that we have had all this and much, much more with our dad Charles. We have been blessed to have had Charles (Barehide) as our father.
To say we loved my dad would be an understatement - and to say we are going to miss him would be an even greater understatement.
We cannot begin to imagine not having Dad on the end of a phone or popping around at a moment’s notice to assist, in his ever graceful manner, with any project great or small with which we happen to be needing advice or help, or to be with his children.
Dad was always there for everyone, family, neighbours, colleagues, or friends.
He was a very clever man but was never afraid of having a laugh at his own expense. He could help you with a complex mechanist or mechanical problem or just as happily, as many of you know.
Dad was also always there for Mom. For over 50 years they have shared everything life can offer - together. They were a great team supporting each other in every way.
Dad was hard working, compassionate towards everyone, and deserved the success and life that he enjoyed. He taught us many, many things but I think most importantly he gave us the ability to know that if you really put your mind to something, anything is possible, and never to be afraid to give anything a go.
His attention to detail and perfectionism was infectious. He had remarkable memory and mentored many people in the lodge.
His passion for masonary and his retirement gave him many happy.
Despite these odd foot in the mouth moments or unfortunate slip ups Dad was incredibly practical and creative and I am so lucky that he passed on so much of his knowledge and skills to us.
It is of course always possible to look back and remember those times when things didn’t always go to plan.
Nobody can be perfect but Dad was as close to being the most perfect Dad anyone could have.
Dad's love was unconditional and this is something I will cherish from his character – and take with us forever. His kindness and generosity will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
You know Dad loved you all very much and he was so proud of all your wonderful achievements.
Dad rest peacefully in heaven with mom and your loved ones. We love you mom and dad and will miss you both. Godspeed. Love your daughters, Kelley Shiflet Weller and Tara Flores
I love you, dad. Rest in Paradise with the love of your life.
Betty was my best friend for over 70 years, and Charlie for all the years they were married. He and Betty attended many of our wedding showers and baby showers as well as our funerals.. The Shiflett and Love Families always seemed like our family also, my parents and siblings always referred to Betty and Charlie as our family. I used to love to call Betty and have Charlie answer, he always had to say "well hello dahling".. Charlie will be greatly missed by his many friends and most of all by his children. Go rest on the mountain Charlie, you've earned it..Tell my BFF I love her and have so much to tell her when I get there. I love ya Dahling

I love you Uncle Charles. Tell Aunt Betty and Dad I miss them and love them with all my heart. Uncle Charles would always make you smile and laugh. He was a hard worker and a wonderful father to his 3 daughters. Aunt Betty was the love of his life. He loved his family more than anything. Uncle Charles I will miss that beautiful smile. I love you. Vickie
