I am very sorry to hear of Charlie’s passing away. Charlie’s dedication as a husband, Father, Step-Father, Father-in-Law, and Grandfather (better know as Pa Pa) will be forever missed. He made a huge impact on my life over the years as a member of your family. Whenever I needed something or needed to learn how to fix something, Charlie was always there to teach and remind me that Yankees need to be loved as well. The biggest thing I will miss about Charlie is the love he had for his Grandchildren. I remember Bryan and Makayla always excited to see their Pa Pa for a chance to ride on his lap on the John Deere Tractor. Charlie will be missed and my thoughts and prayers go out to you Wanda – and the entire family.
I remember Charlie when we all used to live out in the Brazos bottom. I was probably around six or seven years old at the time, and I certainly can tell you that Charlie was one great guy to be around. And now that all of his pains and struggles are over, I pray that God Bless and safely keep all who are left behind. I extend my most sincere condolences to the entire Shulz family, along with all of Charlie’s close friends. Rest and sleep well, my friend.

Charlie was loved by so many and he will be truly missed by all. You and Charlie have so many wonderful memories that you will be able to cherish always. He will always be with you, by your side and close to your heart. I am here for you always. I love you my dear friend.
Charlie was like a grandpa to me for a very good portion of my life. I remember driving his john deer tractor in the back yard all the time. He will be missed. My thoughts are with the family. Rest in Peace. I love you guys.
I am so sorry to hear that uncle Charlie passed. It deeply saddens me that I did not get to see him more often in my adult life. I will always remember my dad taking us out to grandma’s house and seeing him there. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Deepest Sympathy,
