Charles was an avid New England sports fan, especially devoted to his beloved Boston Red Sox. Aside from his family, there was little he loved more than good food, old Western movies, and his late-cat Wally. He enjoyed afternoons on his porch chatting with his mailman, Mike, and cracking jokes with a twinkle in his eye. He will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
