Charles S. Waters

Charles Stevenson Waters Jr. (aka ‘Charlie’) was born on September 13, 1943, in Baltimore, Maryland to the late Charles Sr, and Margaret Waters. He departed this earthly life Tuesday, July 25, 2023. peacefully at home after a brief illness. He is a graduate of Baltimore City Public School System. Charlie worked at Charles Engineering Company for 25 years. In 2005, he retired from Gray & Son. The inside joke was Charlie was ‘the walk away’. Charlie was cool with a gentle spirit. Love, friendship, laughter …he knew some of the best things in life really are free. Sorry Baltimore Ravens fans, Charlie has a remarkable love for the New England Patriots. He was proud that they had the longest winning streak in pro Football history. His mancave design told every Ravens fan, ‘this is patriots Nation’. Baltimore is known for crabs, but so was Charlie. Crabs was his favorite seafood to enjoy with family and friends. Just say crabs and Charlie would be there. For 47 years, Charlie was inseparable from his wife, Claudia. It’s well known, if saw Charlie, you saw Claudia. They traveled everywhere together, from cruises to the supermarket. As we write Charlie’s life story, know that Claudia has been there between each line of pain and glory. Charlie was baptized at St. Ann Catholic Church. He dedication to Christ was felt immediately as he joined the Ushers and Food Bank ministries right after Baptism. His love for St. Ann and the fellow parishioners was genuine. He knew the end of his earthly life dd not mean the end of his influence as one who lived as a worshipper of God. We honor the legacy of Charlie on earth, for he has become one of heaven’s newest stars. Football fans, when the upcoming football season start, remember Charlie when the patriots play, especially if the win. During the summer season, eat few crabs in remembrance. And on your vacations or even your trip to the market, bring your loved ones. For Charlie is forever…in our hearts and memories. He meets at the gates of heaven: his parents, Charles Sr. and Margaret Waters; Sisters LaReta and Brenda, and grandson Darrin Jr. Charlie leaves to mourn his wife, Claudia; son Darrin Waters Sr. (Stephanie); stepson Michael Lewis; sister Roslyn Waters; brother Archie Waters; two granddaughters Britney and Mikekia; and a host of relatives and friends.
