He served his country from 1953-1955 in the US Army and was stationed in Washington State. He married the love of his life, Shirley on June 15, 1956. Charles loved spending time with family and friends. He never met a stranger he greeted everyone with an open smile and always said “Hi There”. He loved hunting and spending time just sitting and talking about his hunting experiences with friends and family, the camaraderie around the camp fires, telling jokes or just being outdoors in the stars. He worked his early years as a Fireman for The Dow Chemical Company. He left for greener pastures in the late 60’s to sell insurance. After being in the insurance business for many years, he began a career in the car business in the late 70’s and later retired in 2000.
