Charlie was proud to have served his country as a Marine. After serving he went on to work and later retired from Rockwell International. After retiring from Rockwell, he worked as a guard at Honda Marysville for several years.
He did many things over his 80 years, but the things he was most proud of were his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. He and Ruth never missed a thing they were in!
Charlie was a die-hard Buckeyes and Browns fan and had a huge love for the Gophers! If you were blessed enough to cross Charlie’s path you know how lucky you are.
