| Here are just a few of the many pictures that were taken during Charlie`s birthday celebration on March 20, 2011 at Brooklane Community Center in Hueytown, Alabama. Charlie turned 79 on March 21. |

 |
| An appropriate cake decoration for Charlie. One of his favorite songs is "The Lighthouse." Mrs. Theresa Tanner did a wonderful job on the cake. |
|
 |
| This was a surprise party for Charlie, and we did a pretty good job right up until he got to the parking lot. Then, when he started seeing so many of his friends, he had a suspicion. |
|
 |
| So many friends came to pay their respects to a man who has given so much to his community. |

|
 |
| Sharon (Gary`s daughter) and her two daughters, Elizabeth and Emma. |
|
 |
| So many friends that we couldn`t name them all, but we`re sure Charlie could name every one if he seen the pictures. |
