To the Family of Mr Charles.
I was Saddened to see the passing of Mr. Charles. He was truely an wonderful man. It would be impossible to count the number of lives that he enriched throughout his years of teaching. Being my first Band Director at PNJHS in 1968 he istilled a love for music that has continued even into my adult life. He was a fine man and a true teacher in every sense of the word he could hold the attention of the entire band hall because we never knew what joke he was going to crack or funny stunt he would do to make his point. He will be missed but he is playing his clarinet in a much bigger band today.

Harry Charles was one of a kind. He was the sweetest, most compassionate, kind, caring and witty Teacher I had at Port Neches Junior High. I remember him slinging his hair (it was long on top) and throwing his baton and, all of his sayings! (Grandma was slow, but she was old - come on!) He was truly interested in children and their education & growth. He had a love for music that inspired all who took from him. He was a fair man and exuded integrity. He laughed and cried with us. He remembered us. Now, we will always remember him. He will be missed here, but Heaven just got an enormous boost - he will brighten every spot!!! RIP, Mr. Charles. You touched so many and now you can receive your greatest reward. I know he's smiling down on us!
