So sorry to learn about Charlie – such a character who brightened up the world around him.
The sudden passing of Charles was a great shock to those that knew him, and death is blowing out the candle because the dawn has come. May his soul rest in everlasting peace, and may God grant consolation to his wife and the entire grief-stricken family now and beyond. Love always, Joan Rowe and family.

Yolanda and the Briggs family. Deepest Condolences too all of you from Ricky and the Carter family. Our days at Harrison College and the scouts were always special with “Briggsy” and his energy and enthusiasm was always positive. Charles will be missed by many and he was a true gentleman and a scholar. R.I.P
To the family of the late Charles Briggs, we extend our deepest sympathies to you during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
