Charles worked for the railroad, Railway Express and Cornell in Westville New Jersey. Dedicated to his faith and Church of St Mary's Gloucester City. Charles was a kind, gentle and giving man who spent most of his time surrounded with family. He loved being around his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His favorite hobby was sports and his absolute favorite was football. His favorite teams were Notre Dame and the Philadelphia Eagles.
