Charles Edward Varner, 65, of Charleston,WV passed away January 1, 2021 after a long illness.
Charlie will be remembered for his love of music, quick wit and sense of humor.
He could hear a song from the 60’s or 70’s and tell you who sang it, what album it was on and the year it was released.

Charlie worked for the radio industry and later moved to Charleston. He was hired as the concessionaire through the Randolph - Sheppard  program at the State Capitol .
