Charlie was grateful for the care given him by Keesler Air Force Medical Center. With heartfelt gratitude, the family thanks Keesler Air Force Medical Center’s staff (ER, ICU and Floor 4D) for getting him through COVID and then caring to his needs. The family also thanks Beth Cox, of Gulfport and Tracy Hamel Ladner, Hospice. They were a Godsend to our family.

Daddy, we love you and already miss you terribly.
