Charlie was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia and enjoyed a long and fulfilling career with Imperial Oil.
Charlie and Betty took many trips abroad and enjoyed life to the fullest with their many friends.
Charlie had a smile that would light up a room, a wonderful sense of humour, loved his sweets and had a soft spot for all his four-legged furry companions. Charlie was also an avid sports fan and loyally followed the Raptors, Maple Leafs and Blue Jays. Charlie was actively involved in the First Presbyterian Church in Collingwood and a member of the Probus Club in Wasaga Beach.
A special thank you to Dr. J. Lane, PSWs, Saint Elizabeth Nurses and the nurses at Collingwood General and Marine Hospital for all their compassionate care and concern for Charlie.
