In his spare time, he loved to fish and was a self-proclaimed “World’s Best Fisherman”! He loved the outdoors and enjoyed muzzle loading during deer season. He loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and looked forward to time spent with them. Charlie was a treasure to his family and was talented at building things and figuring things out when situations arrived at work. He will be missed by his family and those that knew him. A memorial has been established to the family and those donations may be left at the funeral home.
