Uncle Charlie was a wonderful person to be around. Just like all of the Yarbers, he was kind, smart and full of energy. I always enjoyed talking to Uncle Charlie as he always had something positive and up lifting to add to the conversation no matter the topic. We lost a heck of a person, but heaven definately gained another. Thank you for being you Uncle Charlie!

Charles was a great man. Our prayers are with you all. I did want to share that on the day Charles passed, I had a student wearing a Savannah Bananas jersey. Later that day I learned the news and had to smile a little.

Oh my…I just received notice of Charlie’s passing. I am so sad. He was a wonderful man. We shared many memories when we lived in Lexington going to kids soccer games, tailgating at his workplace next to the USC stadium, attending many school and local functions plus my husband worked for him for a while. Our daughters were maid and matron of honor for one another. My sincerest sympathy to Sally, Kelsey and Chad and their families. He was a wonderful caring and hung man. Rest in Peace Charlie!

Dear Sally: We were so very sad to hear about Charlie and we send you and the family our fond thoughts and condolences. We have many happy memories of Charlie playing golf and, in later years, our dinners at the Club. We will always remember Charlie as a very gentle, kind and intelligent person with a wonderful sense of humor and a twinkle in his eye. He was also a great family man, a devoted husband, father and grandfather. We know he will be sadly missed by many people. It was a privilege to have Charlie and you in our lives, and we think of you often.
