Charles was a loving husband, father, brother, and friend to all who knew him. He attended Washington Avenue Baptist Church.

Charles worked for the Department of Environment as an Environmentalist for over 50 years.
He enjoyed Walking Horse shows, going to the Wilsons Horse Sale and going to auctions, especially with his auction buddy Rhea Wilson, who was the designated driver because Charles was always talking and telling tales instead of watching the road.
He enjoyed flea markets and really loved to trade. Charles enjoyed eating even though it did not show in his weight and he was always hungry. He really enjoyed spending time with people, socializing and just enjoyed life in general. Charles always enjoyed traveling with Ruth and his friends from the Fair Board which he was on for many, many years. He was fortunate to have enjoyed a good long life and always had a positive outlook on everything, always had a good word about everyone.
