After his service to his country, he moved back to Hamilton, Ohio, where he worked first at Clearing Machine and then Mosler Safe. In 1969, he was transferred to Buffalo, NY, where he left secular work and accepted a job as full-time minister for the Church of Christ in Niagara Falls, NY. During his time with the church, he hosted a successful weekly radio program, Christian Evidences. Charles moved back to West Elkton, Ohio, in 1976. He then worked at Diebold and Dayton Technologies. He was active in local politics and served as West Elkton Mayor and Chief of police for seventeen years. For over twenty-five years, Charles operated a mail order and online bookstore called Books and Stuff, which was his favorite hobby. Active member of the West Elkton and Oxford Churches of Christ for many years. A kindhearted and generous person, he will be sorely missed by his many friends and family.

Prayers for you all. He's been my neighbor for over 5 years. Couldn't ask for a better person to live next too. He was the sweetest and always brought me flowers and brought my kiddo candy. We will definitely miss him
