Charles was born in Washington, DC to Lois and James Booth. Charles graduated from Alameda High School in 1973, after which he enlisted in the Unites States Army where he worked in communications. Charles served in the Army from 1973-1980 before being medically retired due to multiple sclerosis.
After his military service, Charles worked at the Oakland Army Base and attended classes at the Center for Independent Living (CIL) where he studied to be a computer programmer. Upon completion, Charles performed an internship with Raychem and was offered a full-time position with the company—working for them for 18 years until they were acquired by Tyco. He continued to work for Tyco as an independent contractor.
Charles was involved with Boy Scouts of America where he ran day camps and trained adults. He was involved with the San Francisco Renegades Drum and Bugle Corps where, along with his wife Paula, they maintained the Renegades souvenir booth. Charles was instrumental in Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL) and played a large role in establishing housing and a new building.
Charles was preceded in death by his parents, James and Lois Booth, and brother-in law-Thomas Mendoza. Charles is survived by his wife of 47 years, Paula Booth, his son and daughter-in-law, Timothy and Stephanie Booth, his granddaughters, Shelby and Hailee Booth, his brother Keith Bryan and his five sisters-in-law, and one brother-in-law: Joyce, Peggy, Patty, Jenny, Mary, Johnny and several nieces, nephews and their children.
Charles was a devoted husband, father, friend, and a terrific grandpa—he loved being a grandpa—and he will be greatly missed by his family and all who knew him.
Charles will be cremated, and a service will be held at a later date when public gatherings resume.
