It is with great sadness that the family of Charlie Hanson announces his passing on August 24, 2022 after a short illness. He was the son of the late Charles P.

Charlie is also survived by his favorite Aunt Wilma Harris Arledge & his favorite cousin Dennis (Lori) Arledge, both of Camden, SC.

Charlie enrolled in the US Air Force after graduating from Camden High School. He  was trained as a radiology technician which became his life-long career.  His career took him to Loris, SC, Machias, ME, & Columbia, SC. He retired from the VA Hospital in Columbia as the Radiologist Director. He then worked on a mobile unit travelling to local hospitals doing bone density testing until he retired again.

Charlie was an avid sports fan. He faithfully watched the Braves, golf, Nascar racing, USC baseball & football. He loved to fish at Folly Beach Pier in Charleston, SC.  He had a great sense of humor and never met a stranger. He loved to make you laugh & will be greatly missed by all who loved him.

A donation to the McLeod Cancer Center in Florence would be appreciated by his family; their address is 401 E. Cheves St. Florence, SC 29506.
