He leaves to mourn two sons: Michael of Maricopa, Arizona and Anthony of Cleveland, Ohio. Five daughters: Shelia, Annette, Kimberley, and Rhonda all of Cleveland, Ohio and Ammie (Frank) of Goodyear, Arizona. Nine grandchildren: Charles, Anthony Jr., Brandon, Jemar, Briana, Corey, Desmond, Julian, and Bryce. Six great-grandchildren Kyren, Aries, Dylan, Azriel, Madison, and Conrad.

Charley fought a brave fight like no other, a fight which even Muhammad Ali would be proud of. He will be truly missed by his beloved family and friends

William and I have many, many cherished memories when visiting Lebo and Thelma in Cleveland. Our family reunions, barbecues and fun times in Cedar Point always bring smiles to our faces. Lebo and his wit will always be missed! I will also miss his constant picking on me because I didn't want to drink his "cocktails". Until we see you again Lebo, sleep well!

LEBO: When I was not officially part of the family, you made me feel like a son. And you treated me like a son. The many talks we had sitting on the porch of your home. I will cherish the memories forever in my life. You took me to visit where you were raised and or lived in Arkansas. I had a GREAT time going back into your history. We shared MANY drinks of Chivas Regal on your porch. I have an unopen bottle at home. I will have a drink for each of us, on the day God takes you home. I feel so proud to call you not ( father-in-law ). But ( DAD ) ! Miss you, DAVID...
