All three were born in Clinton, Oklahoma, graduated from Clinton High School and all three served in the Armed Forces in World War II.

"Uncle Charlie" aka "Pop" to his grandchildren was a cigar smoking, card playing, fun loving man! He was a great joke teller, loved a good laugh and was a devoted husband, father and grandfather who loved his family very much.
