Charles Heflin, known as Bud to some and Charlie to others, was born at his family's farm house on Shenandoah Path below Catlett (Rte 607). His mother always said it was a cold frosty morning when he was born.
Bud grew up on the farm and graduated from Calverton High School. According to others, he excelled at baseball. A very bright man, in another time and place, he might have gone to college and become almost anything.
He held various jobs and then worked for 25 years for The Warrenton Training Center, from which he had retired prior to his death in 1987 from cancer, when he was only 50 years of age. He had a winning personality and got along with people well in the public.
Bud enjoyed following sports on TV such as football and baseball. He loved his family very much and helped in the community and at church.
In January 1956 he married (Frances) Jean Godfrey who survives, and he left four children: Chuck Heflin (Charles E. Heflin Jr.), Wayne Heflin, Sandra Heflin Cazeault and Susan Heflin. He has a number of grandchildren and several great-grandchildren as of 2013.
He left siblings James Wm. Heflin (Bill) and Gene Heflin, both of Catlett, and Marylin Faith Heflin Rumph (Sis or Faith) of Dumfries, VA.
Nov. 6, 2011:
You came into the world
When frost clung to the earth;
You left this world
When winter's last snow lingered.
Each year I put a cactus bloom
In the special metal box, like a tomb;
So all these years their remains
Remind me of you and our pain.
Yet - mostly I think of happy days
When we played ball or croquet;
Ate summer cookouts on the farm,
Went fishing, worked, - your charm
Was the specical kind that stays
With a person like sunshine rays;
And thus we remember you now,
We live in your shadow still...somehow. Sis
---------------
Remembering you on the 25th anniversary of the day you left Earth for Heaven - Sis & many others March 2012
