Charles worked as a computer program analyst for UNIVAC and Quaker Chemical before he and Sheila started a craft business. He enjoyed acting at the DCP Theatre, working as the starter at Hickory Valley Golf Club, and playing poker at the Greenlane Firehouse and the Owls Club. Above all, family was the most important thing in his world. He loved supporting his children and grandchildren in anything they were involved in.
