Charles was a mechanical and technological genius. He generously shared that gift with me throughout my life. Always willing to help. I have great memories of spending time with him at the lake, playing mini golf, playing cards, and sharing countless holidays with our family. He loved walks and media. He had a beautiful laugh. I will miss him always. Rest in peace Charles. Soar through the skies like the greatest jet engine ever.
Love always, Jane
You will be forever missed until we meet again 💛 Sending sympathy and love to the Tullis family 🪽🙏
