Charles attended Coldwater High School and retired from Parker/Hannifin in 1997 and became engaged in farming his entire life with the love for his poultry farm of 60 plus years. He was a devoted member of the Holy Rosary Church of St. Marys and the Knights of Columbus. Charles enjoyed ballroom dancing with his lovely wife, traveling, and most of all spending time with his family and friends to include special times with his grand and great grandchildren. Charles' favorite pastime was taking drives around the community and enjoying his cigar.
