A simple family man at heart, he cherished time spent with his family, especially his kids and grandkids, and enjoyed playing cards with them when they came over to his house every Sunday. He always held a special place in his heart for his best friend and Chihuahua, Cujo. Charles married the love of his life, Delores, on November 16, 1957. They shared many wonderful memories together, especially the several trips they took to Michigan. Living a youthful life, in his younger years, Charles was in a bowling league with his wife, Delores.
