Charlie was a member of the armed forces, inducted into the Army July 23, 1954, receiving an honorable discharge July 8, 1962. Charlie and his wife Beverly settled in Dayton Ohio, after his military career where they rooted themselves in the community. They attended St. Andrews United Methodist Church, where they both sang in the choir and made numerous friendships and connections that lasted a lifetime. Charlie was an avid carpenter and upholsterer, often creating unique crafts which he would gift to family and friends. Charlie was never one to take himself very seriously and was always quick with a joke but also a kind word. His humor was infectious to all of those around him, even more…his positive outlook on life. His presence will be missed but his spirit will always live on.
