Charles attended the Elyria Public Schools for twelve years, enlisting in the United States Army, shortly after high school. He served during World War II, receiving the Purple Heart in recognition of injuries sustained in the Battle of the Bulge. Following the war, Charles returned to his job as a lace weaver at the Elyria Lace Factory, until its closing.
Charles enjoyed his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Although most lived out of state, he always enjoyed the entertainment the little ones provided on their visits home. Charles loved being outdoors, mowing and caring for his yard and gardens. When illness made that impossible, he would just enjoy sitting in the warmth and sunshine.
He is survived by his wife of seventy-two years, Shirley (nee Palmer); his son, Thomas (Virginia) Haney of Pueblo, Colorado; his daughter, Tamara (Robert) Verhoff of Lagrange; seven grandchildren: Sean (Jennifer) Haney, Jennifer (Rayo) Nulsen, Janel (Brian) Lyons, Jeffrey (Andrea) Verhoff, Kristy (Eric) Souser, Joel (Raelin) Verhoff, and Benjamin (Veronica) Verhoff; eleven great grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by a sister, Doris Schneider; and his parents, Charles, Sr. and Mary Haney (nee Driscoll).
