Charles Bazile

The Life & Legacy of Charles Joseph Bazile, Sr.

Eighty-seven years, eight months, 1 week, 1 day ago God ordained the birth of Joseph Charles in the town of Logan, Louisiana. He would answer to the name Charles, and sometimes to ("Piece a Bread," "The Best I Know," "Catch a Grip," Mr. B.," "Mr. Roger, "Old Soldier," "Mr. Clean," or "Chef Charley B.".) He was the fourth born of Joseph & Puliska Fobb-Bazile.

Charles was reared in the close-knit community best known as "Moonshine." He began his formal education in the segregated school, Colonial Elementary. In the year 1951, November 6 at the age of nineteen, he was inducted into the Armed Forces of the United States. On June 6, 1952, because of his courage, integrity, and endurance he was rewarded with an Honorable Discharge. Upon returning home, he dedicated twenty years of services to Avondale Shipyard before retiring.

Charles enjoyed the sport of hunting, and as he would let everyone know, he was the "Founder" of the Westside Hunting Club in 1956. He was also a Mason of the Magnolia Lodge #2.
Charles was known by many for his excellent artwork in the kitchen. The memory of his cooking to everybody, but especially his grandchildren is a blessing.

Charles found "true oneness" in marriage as ordained by God when he vowed to love honor and share his life with Ora Belle Williams. They were married in the coziness of her parents' home by the late Rev. Dennis Johnson on Saturday, June 6, 1979. He was blessed with her trust, devotion and gentleness for forty years, ten months, and one week.

Charles took hold of God's hand in June 1973 upon his confessed belief in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was baptized according to his faith by the late Rev. James Trench at Highway Baptist Church, Vacherie, Louisiana. He later became a member of King Solomon Baptist Church Lutcher, La on Sunday April 10, 2016 under the leadership of Rev. Benjamin Scott and until his death under Pastor Rowdy Scott, Sr.

On Sunday, April 12, 2020 approximately 1 o'clock in the evening, Charles was ready to depart his earthly body. "He knew that the time of his death was at hand; he had fought a good fight; he had finished the race; he had remained faithful; so he reached for the prize which awaited him......the crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous Judge, shall give him on the that day (11 Timothy 4: 6-8)
