Just wanted to tell all of the family that we will miss our brother and brother in law and that our lives have been so blessed to have him with us for all of these years. I know that Ricky will miss him so much, just to have a brother to talk to and be there. We hope God heals this void that we all feel. I will always remember the fun times in school and all of the good times in Lawton. One time I will share with all of the family is the Christmas we spent when we first got to Lawton. We were all so poor. All we could afford to get our son was a gun and holster set. I got Rick some socks and he got me some slippers, and who showed up on our step was Charles. We cooked a small canned ham, a large sweet potato, and I made an applesauce cake but it was one of the best Christmas's I had.

My very deepest sympathy to the whole Sears family. Charles was a heck of a person and a true friend to many. I have many cherished memories of times our families spent together over the years, and am honored that he considered me a Friend. Rest in Peace, Bubba. We'll never forget you!
