Rhonda, thinking of you and family. So sorry for your loss. Everytime I look at my Heather I think of you both. May your memories serve as release and bring peace.
What a wonderful man and physician. He has had an impact on several many lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Wonderful memories. Fellow physician and fellow tandemist. Rest in peace.
Rhonda and family, our prayers go out to you during this time. Charlie was an amazing man who wore a lot of hats for each one of you to admire and love. You were blessed with an amazing family and we are proud to call you our neighbors for so many of those years. The days ahead will be filled with stories of your lives together…never forget them.

21 years ago we spoke with Charlie about my breast cancer and the path we would need to take. He will always be remembered in our memories on how he assisted us.
So sorry. The world’s loss is definitely Heaven’s gain. Such a wonderful man!
We loved Charlie so much, especially all those “Knot on Call” memories. Your family is so special to us. Love and prayers, Ron and Lyn.
How fondly we remember such special times at the Southlake Church. You and Charles and your beautiful family were a blessing to us all. Our hearts and prayers are with you now.
Mom and I send our condolences to you and your family. We have fond memories of Charlie when he was taking care of everyone in Muleshoe.
Peace to you all.
Sending heartfelt sympathy to all of you who knew and loved Dr. Pummill. I know the loss of this incredible man is felt far and wide. A beautiful couple, Rhonda and Charlie always made me think, “Now that is the kind of couple I want to be!” My heart is with you, Pummill family. Deepest condolences.
We are so sad to learn of Charlie’s passing. Rhonda and the entire family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Many happy memories of riding with the Pummills in Europe. Rhonda please accept our deepest sympathies.

There was no one as thoughtful and generous as Charles. He gave medical advice and help to everyone in the family, patiently answering questions and giving confidence and comfort. He had a zest for new experiences and hobbies and what was next in life. He will be remembered with love and gratitude by his family and friends coworkers.
Thoughts and prayers to all of the Pummill family. Memories are precious blessings and I know you have shared so many .
While my family only knew him a short while in Irving, Charles was always had a warm and friendly smile and big heart! Praying for you, Rhonda and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss of this amazing man. I worked with Dr Pummill (X-ray tech) back in the early 90’s when he was the only radiologist. It amazed me that he typed his own dictation at like 150 words/min. Later I worked with him at the breast center – such a brilliant doc- and learned so much from him. He used to ride his bike to work and I’d remind him on occasion to comb his hair before seeing a patient. I know he’ll be forever missed and forever loved!
Rhonda
Dr Pummill was fine physician and he always took great care of me. My mother, Sue Nesbitt thought the world of him. She shared great stories of working with Dr Pummill in the OR in Muleshoe. I’ve no doubt mom and other caregivers from Muleshoe are greeting him with open arms.
Love to the Pummill Family.
Thanks, Mr. Pummill, for taking great care of our brother, Rusty McDowell, when he was most in need.
To lose such a wonderful man, there are no words.
Blessings and love,
The Streff Family♥️
Today was his birthday. I worked with him from 1990 -1999. He was a great man and taught me so much in the beginning of my career. I always thought of him on his birthday and when talking about great doctors. I loved him dearly. I am so saddened by his passing . He will always hold a special place in my heart . Rhonda also loved me like one of her own . I had just turned 21 when I started my career at Baylor Grapevine . I was the first paid sonographer there . We split call . Incredible man , doctor and family . With all my love , Kayla
Doctor Pummill was a great small town Doctor. He helped so many people. He let me work in his office for a brief period during my younger years when I was interested in medicine. I got to observe a minor surgery and work with the lab tech. You will never see that these days. Such a life well lived.
Uncle Charles shares his birthday with our anniversary and I will always cherish that coincidence. I will always remember his generosity and his kindness. He was a true gentleman and such an inspiration. ❤️🙏
I remember Dr. Pummill as my doctor as a child. I remember that he was such a kind doctor. I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.

I have so many memories of Charles he gave me my first puppy and my first stitches. He would make house calls on my dad. We were truly blessed. He set the standards that few can achieve. Our hero.
I also got the privilege of working with Dr. P at Baylor Grapevine in the 90’s. He, at the time, was the only radiologist.. that of course has changed over the years.He was a great Radiologist and a wonderful honorable man.. Rest In peace
May you feel God’s grace and peace, and know you supremely contributed to a life well lived.
Thank you for your kind heart and valiant service!
You are loved.
