This tribute was added by Mattie Harpp on 31st January 2018 "When I moved to Atlanta in 1975 Charlie Ray gave me a ride (in his orange VW) to Atlanta Area Technical School to register for classes in Secretarial Studies. I was very appreciative of that ride because I had no other way to get there. Through the years, whenever we conversed, Charlie Ray would always talk about his work as a manager at K-Mart and later at Walmart with such passion and pride. God has called Charlie Ray home to eternal rest, but memories of him will stay with me forever. May you have everlasting peace, Charlie Ray!"

God has called you to rest from all the days of work you did while here on earth. Thank you for all the help you gave me as we both started out our job careers upon graduation from Morris Brown in 1974. Thanks for the rides to work in your orange VW Bug when I had no way to get there except walking and catching the bus which would have taken nearly all day. Thanks also for all of the compliments you gave the Harpp family especially when you became a son-in-law and a brother-in-law and a husband to my sister Judy and a father to my nephew Gerald. May God rest your soul."
