He is survived by his four children, Joann M. Rowley, Amy L. Hughley, Cherie L. Hughley and Charles R. Hughley.

It saddens us that he is gone, but he is happy now because he is with our mother. It is hard to lose two parents in the same year, but knowing they are together has somehow lessened our pain.
