Uncle Charlie - Loved his home state of West Virginia; although he left when he was drafted into the U.S. Army never to return to live there. He married Louise Bull of Manassas Virginia and had two children: Charles (Chucky) Glenn Bosworth, Jr. of Falls Church and Melissa Dawn Crabtree of Houma Louisiana.

Uncle Charlie worked for Continental Baking Company until he retired making Wonder Bread.

He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He loved all sports and really loved to see a good game, no matter who won. He loved good plays and was very attuned to an athlete's ability to play.

Prior to being drafted he lived in Philippi, West Virginia (Barbour County) where he graduated from Philippi High School. He was scouted to play professional baseball by the Saint Louis Browns, who are now known as the Baltimore Orioles.

He was very instrumental in the upbringing of two nephews: Eric Randall Bosworth, Sr. and David Alan Bosworth. He greatly loved his great nieces and nephews.

I once asked my father, Paul David Bosworth; brother to Charles, why he had the nickname 'Popeye'. He told me because when he was younger he used to go around popping people in the eyes. Others have said it is because he liked spinach.
