A time to come together and share how Claudia touched the lives of so many, will be held at Chapel of the Lakes Mortuary on Sunday, Oct. 11, from 2 to 3 p.m. This will be a time to share memories, not tears as we, “listen to the music play.”

LAKEPORT, Calif. – Charles (Charlie) Courtland Herren died suddenly Oct. 1, 2015.
He completes his journey, at 59, where it began on July 17, 1956, here in Lakeport with his twin sister, Sue.
He and Sue were the youngest children of Roy Douglas and Cleora Herren and joined their daughters Donna and Wanda.
Charlie grew up working and exploring the land with his father, where he learned to farm and shoot. He was a true son of Lake County and left no trail unturned.
With the skills and work ethic he learned from his father, Charlie found his way in many different trades: tree falling with Davey Tree, welding supply and sales at Lake County Welding Supply.
He also explored many of his own ventures: C&R Firewood (which he owned with his father), Herren Drilling, and finally American Pumping where he served this community for 10 years.
It would not be wrong to say he was a man of many talents and there were so many people in his life that benefited from his skilled hand. One is hard pressed to mention his name and not be flooded with stories of his selfless deeds.
For all of his skills none compare to his ability to talk. Always ready with a story or anecdote to listen and give advice.
He was a true master of the 45-minute goodbye and no one could escape, nor would they want to. It was a welcome gift, for many caught up in the hustle and bustle of life to slow down for a moment and share sometime with him.
He was a rebel, a rascal and a mischief maker from the beginning. He leaves a trail of smiles and stories as well as an arrowed foot and a misplaced bowling ball.
His antics and love will be remembered by everyone fortunate enough to share in his life. The rumble of a Harley will now and forever contain a little bit of him.
As a man he brought so much strength to the people around him. As a brother and son he brought support and pride. As a father he was generous, warm, openhearted and understanding. As a husband he was tender, loving, protective and a king. As an uncle he was supportive, caring and fun. As a grandfather he was a playmate, a teacher, a disciplinarian, and proud to be grandpa.
He lived true, he rode free and he loved big.
He leaves behind his wife of 11 years, Donna; son, Justin (Kat); daughter, Jamie; sisters, Donna and Florence (Sue); three grandchildren; and 12 nieces and nephews.
There will be a private celebration of life for Charlie on Sunday, Oct. 11.
