CHARLES B. 'C.B.' FAIL
Jan. 11, 1942-Nov. 5, 2014
Charles Benjamin "C.B." Fail, 72, died Wednesday at his home surrounded by his family.
Born in Sneads Ferry, he was the son of the late Charles Benjamin Fail Sr. and Lula Crews Fail.
He worked for J.P. Stevens for many years, and attended Rosewood Church of God. He loved his God, his church and all of his church family as if they were his own.
He loved to garden during the summer months, and had an extreme love for animals, especially his little Pomeranian dog, BoBo, who preceded him in death.
His greatest love in his last years were his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They were his heart.
A service to celebrate C.B.'s life will be held Friday evening at 6 p.m. at Shumate-Faulk Funeral Home, with pastor Thomas McLendon and pastor Bill Cotton officiating.
