For those who called Charles Christopher their friend, his death in Wexford General Hospital on Wednesday, December 29, evoked feelings of great sadness and loss.
This was particularly true for his daughters Theresa, Mary Anne and Margaret, and his sons, Charles and Walter, and also for his large extended family.
Charles, who was 83-years-old, came from a well-known and respected family. Born in Coolbawn, Ferns, on April 20, 1937, known as the Big Tree, he was a son of the late Margaret and Joe Christopher.
He was pre-deceased by his sisters, Maureen and Kathleen, and by his brother Seanie [John].
Charles married the love of his life, Mary Carter, on January 27, 1959, and the couple were blessed with five children.

At 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 19, 1909, Don Gaspar de Portola, discoverer of San Francisco Bay, stepped in his resplendent Spanish outfit off a boat on the San Francisco waterfront, mounted his noble steed and was escorted by a company of halberd-wielding dragoons up Market Street as thousands of his loyal subjects cheered.
When he arrived at Union Square, Don Gaspar knelt and kissed the hand of beautiful Queen Vergilia, ushering in five days of mad carnival that ended only when the gracious don ascended into the sky in a hot air balloon.
