He loved traveling with his wife to many different countries and states including his favorite, Alaska. Charles enjoyed fishing as a hobby. He loved meeting new people, nature, and all animals. Charles and his wife, Mary, frequented many of their favorite restaurants in Fayette County, becoming fast friends with all of their waiters, waitresses, and managers. Charles was loved by all and was known for his friendly, welcoming nature. He never met a stranger and loved to talk to anyone who was willing. He loved to start every morning the same: with a cup of black coffee and watching the birds from his kitchen window. Condolences may be sent to Mary Carr or Shannon Nardone.
