Charles Nicholas Blatt, born November 30, 1935, in Perry, Oklahoma, passed away on April 27, 2024, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A man of great faith and integrity, Charles served his country in the US Army Reserves while embarking on a 35-year career with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT).
