After his second retirement, Charles enjoyed playing golf. He was a member of the V.F.W. #1566, D.A.V and was a Mason and a Shriner.

In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy may wish to consider memorials to Shriners Hospital for Children. “The heart of a volunteer is never measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.” - Deann Hollis
