Through his sheer perseverance and native intelligence, he overcame prodigious challenges and attained an electrical engineering bachelor's of science degree and master's of business at Temple University and rose to Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for a power technology multinational. His professional accomplishments evolved from hands-on talent for masonry, electrical, plumbing, and draft design. He took great joy in bringing laughter to his family and the neighborhood children with his "dad jokes" and silly characters i.e., Mister Magic, Charlie Chan and the reknown MC Halloween Horror. Always civically minded, Charles was a proud and informed Democrat, army veteran, and reservist. He remained forever actively interested in learning and engaging in debate. He offered his pro bono services as a board member and a consultant. Charles was a devout Catholic which inspired 53 years of volunteerism with his parish, St. Vincent DePaul. By request of the family, a private internment will be followed by a memorial in the future.
