 You might first try to connect to the peer by
lightning-cli connect <pubkey>@<host:port>

If this works, then you can close more smoothly without any other tedious issues.

 I appreciate your knowledge and assistance. It's obvious to me now that I may have made a mistake trying to do this on my own without guidance from somebody like yourself with your experience. 

I have initiated the force close on the channel. I do hope I can recover the funds. Having zero experience during this whole situation has made this very stressful. However it is certainly a learning experience that is for sure.
