In Loving Memory Of My Daddy...

Thank You for visiting this sight! This is my father who died April 10,1999. He is a very loved man and I'm dedicating this sight to him.

My daddy was a man of great expectations and lived life to the fullest. He married my Mother Roseline January 25,1969. Then that following year they had their fist child my brother Cameron. Later they had two more of us kids Kimmy and myself Le Donna. Daddy was a police officer for 8 years working for the Tribal Police force. My Daddy William later retired and started working for different areas of our tribe (area on aging *elders*) and worked with the tribal court as lay counsel representing people in tribal court. My father attended college in Haskel, Chalocko and graduated top of his class.

My father did many things through out his life. He was a mechanic, artist (bead working, drawing) Daddy worked with children too. He worked assistanting teachers during school and taught them art and worked with them in summer camp chaperal. William also played in a band when I was growing up and played numerous intruments like the piano, guitar- lead, bass, rythm. He taught my brother and all of us his talents that live on.

Daddy only has one sister who is Tina Charley- Glass married to Jessie Glass of Oklahoma. He survived by his grandmother Flora Smalley who passed on last June after him. He also has one step sister who lives in Seattle Avis Hamlin. His parents were Lorraine Winako and Ernest Charley is my grandpa.

In the picture above William (Daddy) was the Chief of our Indian Village in Toppenish for 25 years. He Its our Pow Wow and Rodeo in our small town of Toppenish, Washington. Its held the 4th of July weekend every year. Now Chief is my brother Cameron Charley. Daddy loved our community and getting to know people. His compassion and life still lives in us, his family.... One day we all will be together again but until then we all still love you very much..... I Love You Daddy..... I miss you...
