Charlie was born on January 1, 1901 in Manitowoc and has lived there his
whole life. He operated a meat market with his brothers. He was proud of
the 3,000 cabbages he planted every year, taking up an entire block. He
shredded them into 300 one-gallon crocks and made sauerkraut that he sold.
Charlie is an avid Packers fan; he started to buy tickets when Vince
Lombardi issued the first tickets. “There were just a few rows of
wooden seats.” Today, Charlie watches games on TV.
