Charlie was born in Pomona, CA in 1946. Beloved son of Victoriano and Margaret. He was the 9th child of 15. He attended school in the Cucamonga School District. He was married to Evelyn in 1973. He helped raise 2 children as his own, Diana and David. He later had a daughter, Angelina. He was divorced in 1993. He never remarried. He resided in CA the majority of his life and a short while in CO. He was truly jack of all trades and a master of welding. 
     He was always busy with things he loved to do. He enjoyed camping, fishing, and hunting. As an avid outdoorsman he respected the natural resources the land provided. He also liked planting and harvesting. He often picked from fresh grown sources. He said it reminded him of his childhood. He could build, repair, and create most anything. He was always looking to improve the home in which he lived, maintain the things the family needed, and make things he pleasured. 
     Charlie had a special place in is heart for helping others. Whether someone needed a place to stay, money, or food, he was overjoyed to help. It didn't matter if he knew you or not. These kind gestures filled him with a great sense of pride and made him the man he was. Someday, I hope to have such a generous heart.
     He will be sadly missed but never forgotten.

I Love You Dad!
