Mae, I'm so sorry to hear of Mr. Charles passing. He will truly be missed. He was a very king and friendly person. At the IGA, we said that he looked like the Angel, Clarence, off of It's a Wonderful Life. He now is truly one of God's Angels, just like my mom. She now has another friend to keep her company in Heaven. I'm sure Mr. Charles will be playing and singing in God's Heavenly Choir. May God Bless You during your time of sorrow. You know I will always be there if you need me. Love, Christine and Family

Charles Griffitts was one of the warmest, kindest and nicest men we ever knew. We don’t know anyone who didn’t love both Charles, and his sweetheart Mae. Like many, many others, we will miss Charles very much and can only take solace in believing that today Charles is better off and in a better place. Today, and for a while now, we will share Mae’s grief and sorrow over Charles’ sudden and unexpected passing. Most importantly, we will forever remember Charles’ happy face, his constant good cheer, and the wonderful example he always set for us in always striving to make the most of our own lives and the lives of those around us. But for today, it’s very hard to say goodbye to our beloved, good and loyal friend, Charles Griffitts. We love you Mae. Marty & Nancy Driggers

Mae and family, Harry and I are so saddened by your loss. Charles was truly one of the "good guys." Such a talented person - he could make a piano rock, just like "Jerry Lee," then pick up the guitar and play a soft, sweet "Kentucky Waltz." And NO ONE could play the spoons like Charles. He tried to teach me many times, but I could never master it the way he did. RenoFest and Pam's on Friday nights will never be the same. All of us will miss him and we're ready to help you in any way we can. We love you and are praying for you. Wayne and Harry Wallace
