This is Stacey, and My uncle was one of my favorite people in the world growing up. We celebrated the good, he cheered me up when things were bad, stood beside me when I needed him no questions asked. And the laughter! That booming laugh was unmistakable! His sense of humor was genuine and contagious! He devoted many years to making the people he loved laugh.

He also loved his family deeply, fiercely and he made sure he told us all every chance he had. We spent so much time together over the years. Road trips, camping, holidays, we even worked together for many years.

No matter what, I knew my uncle was one of my biggest fans. I was one of his biggest fans as well.

He was always there, loving and cheering us on.

I watched him battle many health issues with the heart of a warrior and a positivity many people don't have. For our family and anyone that knew Uncle, his loss is profound, deep, and excruciating.

Family and friends are coming together to support his Wife Aunt Shari, and his 2 boys Chuck and Jamie and to help raise funds for his memorial service. Any contributions will be greatly and humbly appreciated. This will go to helping with final arrangements, memorial service, medical bills, and help ease Aunt Shari’s financial burden in the months to come. Please continue to pray for our entire family during this very difficult time.

“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the LIFE you lived in those years.” Abraham Lincoln.

RIP Uncle Charles H. Ransford or simply and lovingly known to all of us, as Uncle.
