  Charlie was a well-respected and talented man who grace our earth for over a century. My grandmother and parents always spoke very highly of him. I marveled at his ingenuity and tenacity to complete projects at an elderly age that I would not attempt in my 40s! I continue to use the wooden trivets he made me to this day. I was truly honoured to know him and was very pleased to be able to visit with him last September. Sending condolences and wishes for a peaceful heart to all the family to treasure the happy years spent with your father and grandfather.

  Uncle Charlie was a great inspiration to many. He will be sadly missed. There are places in your hearts that will forever treasure his love and strength. There are places in your memory that will forever remember his stories and traditions, his humor and generosity. Memories will always hold an important place in your life. The love you shared will keep him close forever. So sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

  Andersen Jim & Barbara

  We would like to send a message to Charlieâ??s family from the Andersen family; Jim, Barbara, Perry & Laura Lee. There are many fond memories. Jim was always very grateful for the help his brother-in-law Charlie showed him at various times in their lives. One year before Jim was married, Jim worked for Charlie in Glen Leslie helping with the harvest. There was lots of work to do stooking and pitching bundles. Jim always enjoyed his time with Charlie, even when they were working hard! Jim fondly remembers the Christmas when Joyce got the Lone Ranger record! Boy, did they hear that song over and over! Our family always enjoyed Charlieâ??s visits to Blackie. Sometimes he would bring Alta, and sometimes he would come by himself to help us build our home in Blackie. He also helped with landscaping the new yard. In recent years and because of the distance, we kept in contact with Charlie on the telephone and always found him in good spirits. He would mention that he was still doing his woodworking in the garage and when Jim asked him how he knew the saw was running, he said â??I test it with my fingers!â?? Our family would love to gather in Grande Prairie for Charlieâ??s funeral, but we are not able to make the journey. We do, however, send our deepest condolences to all the family as we pay honor to Charlie. During these difficult times, lean on each other, and maybe share a story or two. Love from the Andersenâ??s Jim and Barbara Laura Lee (and Doug) Perry (and Terri) xoxoxoxo
