Obituary- Dugan, Charles 2

[continued from first file] learned to ski, and enjoyed many trips with family to the Colorado ski slopes the following years. Charles always said he could dive like a feather and swim like a rock, but that did not detour him from purchasing a ski boat for the family and enjoying many summers camping and boating at Perry Lake.

He was a member of the Delia Fire Department and served on the Delia Fire Board.

A Christmas gift of a black powder pistol started him on a long enjoyment of black powder shooting. He was a past member of the Capital City Gun Club, the Santa Fe Trail Plainsmen Muzzleloaders, and the 3rd Battery B Civil War Reenactors. He was the proud owner of a six-pound field piece cannon and a 12-pound mountain howitzer cannon. He traveled to many Civil War reenactments, including Gettsyburg.

He loved to talk Civil War and cannons to anyone who would listen. He later became a member of the Rolling Thunder Veterans group. He was a proud veteran and in May 2013, with his son Scott, he was able to go on the Veterans Honor Flight to Washington, D.C.

After 30 years in Delia, Charles and JoAnn moved to rural Delia, where he enjoyed going back to his farmer roots, using a tractor instead of horses. He liked attending the Goodyear Retirees monthly dinners, local coffee gab sessions and breakfasts at the Topeka Airport Café with other Goodyear retirees.

Charles is survived by his wife JoAnn; daughters Christine (Alan) Stanton of Topeka, Edy (Tony) Prescott of Delia and Jeri Lynn Walter of Topeka; son Scott (Mary) Dugan of Wakarusa; 11 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; six great-great-grandchildren; brothers Bill Dugan of Holton and Robert (Sandy) Dugan of Lumberton, Texas; and sister Ethel Mae (Tracy) Caulk of Rockingham, N.C.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Lazetta Dugan; son David Lamoine Dugan; daughter-in-law Cheryl; brothers Richard Dugan of Soldier and John Dugan of Topeka; and one great-great-granddaughter. He was greatly loved and will be sadly missed by his family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26 at the Museum of the Kansas National Guard, Forbes Field. Graveside services will be held at a later date.

Donations may be made to the Kansas Army National Guard Museum, 124 S.E. Airport Drive, Topeka, KS 66619; or the Delia Fire Department, in care of Chris Gordon, 4410 102nd Rd., Delia, KS 66418.
