He is also is survived by Susan Lewis and her husband, Robert of Henniker, NH, Janet Dexter and her husband, Frederick of Northborough, Jon Kniskern and his wife, Crystal of Stoughton; several nieces, nephews and grand nieces and nephews.
Charles was born in Pawtucket, RI, son of the late Julia Lenardson. He attended St. Andrews High School in Rhode Island and the University of Rhode Island.

For over 30 years, Charles practiced Massage Therapy and Shiatsu in Shrewsbury, but his real passion was practicing and teaching yoga. Charles was a beloved teacher, with his soft quite way and his sense of humor and his vast knowledge of body, mind and spirit.

Charles lived in Massachusetts, but his heart was always in Rhode Island. His favorite places to visit were along the ocean fronts of Narragansett, Little Compton and Newport.

His pride and joy were his two beautiful sons, Adrian and Eli. He was invested in every aspect of their lives from rooting at the sidelines to co-signing for vehicles. Charles was there for them always.

As a husband, he was a loving, compassionate man. Charles and Amy called themselves the dynamic duo. Together they created a home of beautiful gardens and lots and lots of love. They were the best of friends - hearts and souls always embraced.

Family and friends are invited to a memorial service on Saturday, September 12, 2015 at the Lenardson’s family home at 139 Walnut St. Shrewsbury from 2 - 4 pm where we will celebrate Charles’ life by sharing stories about him that will make us laugh, cry and say, "I didn't know that about him"!
