Above all, Charles cherished his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Arline Cross, alongside their three daughters: Geraldine and her husband Paul Havran, Gail and her husband Charles Liebold, and Barbara and her husband Frank Brucculeri. The joy of his life was further enriched by the presence of his four grandchildren; Anthony, Melissa, Ashley, and Daniella, who fondly remember him as a kind and gentle figure in their lives.
