Charles Ray Anderson was a father, Papa, Great Papa, Son and Brother. Charles was the strongest, kindest, stern, sweetest, onery hardheaded man I've ever or will ever have known. Never was there a day if I, my sisters or brother, or any of his grandkids ever needed anything, that he wasn't there helping in whatever way he could.

He left this earth after having a hard life early on, he overcame hardships working from the time he was a child, till he retired after 35 years at a job he was proud of. Our dad may have left this earth, but he will forever be ingrained in our hearts, as he instilled values, morals, toughness, free thought, the fortitude to survive anything no matter the circumstances, and to love. We, my siblings, are thankful for the raising he and mom gave us. As I could go on about Our Dad, Our Papa, I'll end in saying Thank You Dad, We love you, we will miss you, and in saying a Prayer that you rest in eternal Peace. We Love you Charles Ray Anderson, Our Dad, Our Papa.
