Charles was a very devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He and his beloved wife Margie were married fifty-one years, and he missed her dearly. He adored spending time with Margie, his boys, and grandchildren. He also loved the outdoors, tent camping, and weekends spent at the hunting and fishing camps. In his later years he was affectionately known for taking long naps and watching his favorite show, The Price is Right. His family thoroughly enjoyed his home cooked meals, especially his famous red beans and rice. Another family favorite was his tomato gravy and biscuits which his boys fought over. Charles perfected his culinary skills while serving in the army as a cook during the Korean War. He was honorably discharged at the rank of Specialist E-4.
