Charles Robert Quarles

Charles R. "Bob" Quarles, age 90 was born in Louisville, KY on January 7, 1933. He passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 26, 2023. He was the oldest of seven children. He was an Air Force Veteran of the Korean War. Bob was the ultimate professional salesman in the material handling business, eventually owning Quarles Equipment Co. He was a founding member of Hurstbourne Country Club. He loved family lake vacations, sharing wisdom with his grandchildren and would light up a room with his charisma. He is in a better place drinking a Manhattan, dancing, playing golf, and closing a sales deal. He was the "GREATEST" and will truly be missed by all. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Helen and Sam Quarles; brothers, Don Quarles (Teresa) and Pat Quarles (Betty); sisters, Martha Bray (Tom), Elaine Monsour (David), Diane Dick (Terry).
