Many winters he was found on the ice, wearing his ice skates, skating from tip-up to tip-up, ice fishing on the lake. He loved working with his hands whether it was on his car or building a deck; carving a peach pit into a monkey or growing tomatoes and peppers on the deck. He graduated from Montclair State University, with a bachelor's degree.

Charlie was lucky to have found love late in life and is survived by his partner Martha Baker. “In the end your kids did take the tools”.
