Charles was the son of Louis Clifton Whittington and his wife Mary Edith Harding. He had a brother Wiliam Louis, and two sisters, Margaret, and Jean. He was married four times: first wife's name Thelma, second wife Helen Dorothy Hilley, third wife Gladys, and fourth wife Marjorie Miller. He and Helen Dorothy had one child Sandra Whittington, and he and Gladys had a son Charles Edward "Corky" Whittington.

He owned City-wide Radio Sales and Service in the Little Five Points section of Atlanta in the 1930s. He then became a member of the Civilian Technical Corps (Canadian) serving in England in 1940 in the effort to "jam" German radar. In 1942 he returned to the United States and moved to Los Angeles County, California where he owned City-wide Radio and TV on Imperial Highway in Lynwood.

By the time he returned to the states, he was seriously ill with polycystic kidney disease which caused his death in 1952. It is a genetic disorder that was passed to his daughter and one grandchild.
