Thanks to David Latkowski for sending the above obituary even though the source is unknown.

With apologies to the Prez of the Class of 1970, I'm taking over his page for
the moment:

07/25/06 - Webmaster's Note:
I had the privilege of meeting Charles Williams several times beginning in the fall
of 1970 when I took my brothers, David and Kim, back to ENCSD after being home
on weekends. Randy was also a houseparent at the time so Charles, Randy and I
usually end up spending an hour or two chatting together before I had to return
back to Raleigh Sunday evenings.

During these long conversations, I discovered that ENCSD open captioned movie
nights were held on Friday evenings and that Wilson had a Deaf Club, which
Charles introduced to me, Wilson Association of the Deaf (WAD), which met once
a month and I later found out that WAD was larger and more enthusiastic than the
Raleigh's Deaf Club.

I went to Wilson at least 4 times a month, every two weeks to take my brothers
to ENCSD on Sundays and when my brothers were at ENCSD on "not home
weekends", I would show up on Friday evenings for dinner at ENCSD, the opened
captioned movie afterwards and then the WAD meetings once a month.

This went on for about two years, except for the summer months which I would
show up for the WAD meetings.

My visits with Charles started fading around 1973 when David went to NCSD,
Randy went to Tennessee, and I got married.

I started "revisiting" ENCSD in 1998-2003 after completing my service calls to the
eastern part of the state just to visit Charles and he would just about squeeze me
to death hugging me being elated to see me again. Although we could not "party"
like we did in the good ole days but we made up for it with the 3-4 hours of
"chewing the fat".

Charles was a man of integrity, his body may have failed him but he looked at life
in the most positive manner that I have ever seen in a human being. He had
answers to any questions asked of him.

He was a very humble guy, yet full of surprises, proven even after his moving
over. During his wake, I was astounded that he was mentioned in the Life
magazine featuring Deaf football players in Gallaudet in the mid 1960's.

Charles, you will be missed, but the memories of life I had with you, I will
cherish......We had fun, my Friend!

Mrs. DeLanie B. Winchester

I just want to let all of you know that Mrs. Winchester passed away on March 25th, 2001. That is
all I know. I met Mrs. Bernice Q. Tuttle yesterday and she was the one that told me about Mrs.
Winchester. She was 90 years old and was in a nursing home for a good while.

Take care, may God bless all of you.
