My sincere sympathy to Charles’ family at this sad time of his death. We knew each other for many years at the Hendersonville Bridge Club and I enjoyed his wit and wisdom.
Thank you all for your kind thoughts, prayers, and condolences at the loss of my father.
Dad loved Asheville and the Blue Ridge mountains. He found much happiness with his bridge associations and spoke of you all often. He was a remarkable man in many ways and will be surely missed.
God bless all of you who made his later years so happy.

Many thanks to the friends of my Dad for their prayers and wishes. Charles was a good man, and I am so glad for the good memories and all he was to me. I anticipate rejoicing again with him one day.

Brad & Christine Kenyon
My family lived next the Kenyons for many years in Indiana. Brad was just a few months younger than me and we played together. I remember Mr. Kenyon as as kind caring man. I especially remember the magic shows that Brad and I put on and how Mr. Kenyon took pains to teach us special ‘magic tricks’ I also remember how Mr. Kenyon cared about the town and the neighborhood. I was so proud when I got to be one of the first 7th graders in the new Middle School (Westchester Middle school) that Mr. Kenyon had chaired the construction of.
I will always have fond memories of Mr. Kenyon and the role he played in our neighborhood.
