Charles (Dad-PA) was the most amazing father/grandfather any of us could have asked for. Dad showed us that the only way you got anything in life was through hard work and work hard he did. He also taught us through love and respect that he showed our mother, women were to be treated in such a manner. It didn't hurt that our mom was a little scary.
