As a child, Charles was a tremendous help to his single mother. His father's absence quickly made him the man of the house. He would mow the lawn, did handy work, picked fruit, and sold newspaper subscriptions to help out. Charles was very smart in high school and exelled as a student. During high school he worked as a professional artist and an expert printer until industrial fumes caused him to develop COPD. Charles is survived by his loving mother Juanita Franklin. He was a fun, intelligent, and loyal person. He touched the lives of all that knew him and he will be dearly missed. "I lost my best friend here on earth" Juanita Franklin “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.
