Charles married Dorothy Ann Brumley 22 Aug 1953 at St. Henry's Church in Charleston (Mississippi Co.), Missouri; he is the father of four sons and one daughter.
Charles joined the Army after Pearl Harbor, and his mechanical ability and 20-10 vision got him assigned to the new Army Air Corps. He flew P-37s over northern Europe from 1942-1944 in the 9th division, and was promoted to squadron leader when he was just 21.
He then attended University of Missouri on the GI bill, graduating with a BS in Civil Engineering. He moved to Houston and spent his entire career designing and building natural gas pipelines all over the world, including the Bahamas, Germany, and Pakistan, and was working on a project for Saudi Arabia at the time of his death.
He was a gentle, quiet, intelligent force with an impeccable sense of fairness. He was quick-witted with a dry sense of humor, and his steel nerves were legendary. He passed away early on a Sunday morning from a massive heart attack.
