He was awarded the Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star among other decorations.

He also served as Executive Director of Alaska's Medicaid Rate Commission, as consultant to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and as a member of a blue ribbon committee for the White House National Productivity Commission, studying health costs.


Charles was an accomplished musician, writing and playing a wide variety of music, including his favorite Jazz from years past and did so evert Friday night for the community in which he lived for many years, including this past January prior to a brief illness.
