Charles worked as an assembler from around 1924 to 1925 where he then worked as a school janitor from 1925 to 1926. He worked as a machinist in 1935. He was the husband of Anna Maude Sands, daughter of Thomas Sands and Mary Young. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was outgoing, had a good sense of humor and he loved children. He was also a great fisherman. He had a market basket and he would take it with his lunch and bait. He had a folding stool that he would take then would take the street car and go down to Charlotte Pier and fish all day. He used to love to spend time with Herb, Bill, Don and Mike. He also liked to make big airplanes and fly them with the boys. He was a great storyteller. Charles's cause of death is uncertain. He had a heart that was very small, but it could have possibly been pneumonia. His obituary read as follows:
