When I see a "Honeybee" I will think of this man and his compassion of being a beekeeper!! This man was as sweet as the honey sold.. Asking for "Prayers" during the loss of a great man!! Pawpaw Charlie as many of us called him.. He may not have been a biological grandfather but after knowing him going on approximately 28-30 years, I think he was close enough to blood.. He always thought of my brother and myself as his own family. He was very special to many people. May he R.I.P. Another loved one to watch over us. May the good "Lord" above wrap his arms around his family in the days to come. Gone but never forgotten
