At a young age, he started farming and bought a livestock truck, which he used when he bought and sold cattle.

He was united in marriage to Edna Hoffman on Dec. 28, 1952, in Detroit, Mich.

Charlie enjoyed spending time with his family as well as attending his children's and grandchildren's sporting events.

He loved to play cards at the Rock Falls Farm Store with his buddies and enjoyed his daily drives throughout the countryside.
