Charles was a lifelong devout Catholic, spreading the hope and love of his Savior with those around him which brought him much comfort throughout his life.
In his spare time, Charles could notoriously be found fishing or hunting, memories his family will hold near and dear to their hearts. Most importantly, family was everything to Charles, especially when it came time to visit with his grandchildren as he adored them greatly.
Charles, along with all the love and joy he shared, will be dearly missed by those whose hearts he touched throughout his life.
