Charles was a, giving man who worked tirelessly to ensure that his family had everything we needed.  He faced every challenge in life with admirable strength and courage.

Charles earned his Bachelor of Science in Medicine from the University of Illinois in 1954, and his doctorate in medicine (M.D.) four years later.  After becoming a radiologist, Charles enlisted in the United States Army, serving posts in this country and in Panama.  After an internship in San Antonio and eleven years of honorable military service, Charles spent a short time in private practice in Houston.  However, most of his professional life (1967-1995) was on the faculty of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas, where he became a tenured professor.  He received the Distinguished Service Award from the American Board of Radiology in 2000.  After formal retirement in 1995, Charles continued to serve as a field supervisor for resident training programs.  He wrote in a sketch of his professional life, "Were it possible, I would do it all over again!"

Our father was a true role model who we will always look up to.
