Memorial Graveside Service will be held at Gwin Cemetery in Mangham, LA on July 4th, at 6PM. A Mangham, LA native, Charlie was preceded in death by his parents, Reese Cuthbert and Annie Kline Boies, brothers William Reese Boies and James C. Boies. He is survived by his wife Christina (Tina) of the home, daughters Lea Myerly and Sara Carlson (Shawn), grandchildren Cameron and Courtney Carlson , all of Littleton; sister Mary Ellen Epinette of Dallas, TX; Step Brothers Don Adams of Ruston, LA and Doyle Adams of Mangham, LA, nieces Cheryl Carpenter (Bill), Glenda Epinette, Rachel Gandy (Jerry); and nephew Glen Boies (Lilia). A long time geophysicist, Charlie worked for Exxon, where in the 1960's, he discovered Prudhoe Bay oil fields, and later, Tenneco Oil. He founded Front Range Exploration and sold it to NorPac in the early 1980's. After retirement from the oil business, he also owned and operated a private bus company. His post-retirement work as Kiowa High Indians athletic teams' bus driver brought him great joy. He also enjoyed serving as course marshall at Spring Valley Golf Club. A Memorial Celebration of Charlie's Life was held at Christ's Episcopal Church in Castle Rock, CO on May 11, 2013. As Charlie was a fervent patriot, the family requests, in lieu of flowers, donations to Independencefund.org which provides tools for mobility service to severely injured veterans or the woundedwarriorproject.org.
