On July 13, 1963, Charles was united in marriage to Carolyn Connilas Hill in Clinton, MO. They shared 58 years of marriage before her passing on October 7, 2021.

Charles was employed with the General Motors Leeds Plant in Kansas City for 25 years before transferring to the General Motors Parts Warehouse in Reno, Nevada, where he continued his career for another 15 years. A man of deep faith, Charles served faithfully as a deacon for many years, including at Life Ministries in Clinton. He and Carolyn were also longtime members of Assembly of God Church in Reno, NV.

Charles had a true heart for outreach ministry, especially for the homeless community in Reno. He loved to share the story of Jesus with anyone he met and genuinely loved people from all walks of life. His greatest joy was being surrounded by his family. He also enjoyed a good game of pool, playing cards, and participating in Bible study classes, where he continued to grow in and share his faith.
