He formerly served on the board of directors for the McLeansville Fire Department and was a member of FCX and the Grange. Charles and his wife, Martha Jane, farmed with a love of nature and respect for the environment. His hobbies and interests were music, woodworking, motorcycles, and square dancing with the Buck and Does. Charles was a devoted husband and father. Even after his accident, he continued to provide guidance and support for his family.
