Mr. Charles attended Ethel High School, after that he started his career with Electrical work. He worked in North Mississippi with local Co-Ops until 1968 when he joined the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW.) He traveled all over the Eastern States and worked in many storms. He then started working for Entergy (MP&L) until retiring in 1995. After retiring he began another career that was his passion – driving an 18-wheeler, anywhere and anytime. His family urged him to stay off the roads and be at home. It was in his blood. So we are comforted to know he was right where he chose to be at the time he went to be with our Savior.
