IN LOVING MEMORY OF CHARLIE MALICOAT

In Loving memory of Charlie, who we all knew so well
It was a year ago March 12, that he left us, with only memories to tell.
He was famous for his trinkets, his humor, and parades
He was famous for his dog Peanut and of course Peanut’s little Shades.
Every morning he went to McDonald’s, and Dairy Queen to chat
Charlie was a table hopper, but you all know about that.
Next, it was back to his workshop, to invent something new
Some thing that required sanding and maybe a little glue.
He was there for his children and their families too
He adored his great granddaughter that he barely even knew.
What little time he had with her, he loved to watch her smile
I know that is why she came so early, to play with Papaw for a while.
From the trinkets that he made to his family and friends
I know he loved us all to a point of no end.
From all who loved Charlie
