Charlie attended Lamar High School, where he played football as a tackle, and received his business degree from Southern Methodist University where he was a standout 2-way lineman.
Charlie was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Charlie played with and against many Hall of Famers and loved to tell stories of the old Southwest Conference. Charlie spent most of his professional life in real estate and, at one time, was the largest builder of single-family homes in Houston. More recently, Charlie was a successful developer and apartment builder throughout Texas.
Charlie was a member of Chapelwood United Methodist Church. He loved spending time with his family and friends and remained close to many friends from high school and college. Charlie was a proud husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law, and loved taking his granddaughters to lunch. Charlie was a selfless and compassionate man who was warm and kind to everyone he met. He had a magnetic personality and was a great storyteller. Charlie is survived by his wife Millie; daughters, Stacy Leyendecker Jacob and her husband Sada, and Lorie Leyendecker Herod and her husband Steve; granddaughters, Meredith and Morgan Herod; his nieces, nephews and cousins; and his beloved dog, Ellie.
Jim Jackson will officiate. I met Charlie many years ago as he was friends with my boss, Walter Umphrey. I enjoyed him coming to visit Mr. Umphrey as I got to visit with him. Charlie was always funny, kind and very caring. I will continue to pray for this precious family. I pray that your special memories bring you comfort now and in the days to come. Love, Sue Greenway. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. The Allen Pitts Family.
Millie, Carole and I were so sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. I saw him in the parking lot at River Oaks a couple of months ago. It had been such a long time since we had seen each other. We went to dinner at Don Cruz in Piedros Negros. You and I decided to try our hand at jitterbugging. Remember, we saw some young folks at another table and you thought they looked like they were not having fun. We stopped and asked a couple to dance with us. Everything was going good but then it appeared that I had been overserved hard to believe.
I tripped and fell pulling my new dance partner down with me. The next thing I know, the beautiful Millie Leyendecker is bending down and telling me, "Bob, get up. They're going to think you're drunk". Those were good times and good memories. Our thoughts are with you and the family.
We're sorry we missed the reception this afternoon. Carole and Bob Craig. Millie my heartfelt condolences are with you and your family. I will always remember Charlie's kindness and generosity towards me and Trip; from you hosting our wedding brunch at your home many years ago to joining us when we renewed our wedding vows celebrating 35 years of marriage. Trip treasured the working relationship he and Charlie had.
I will forever hold these fond memories in my heart. Thank you Charlie for enriching our lives.
