Charles married Helen Rozinski on October 30, 1949. He farmed in Caledonia Township since 1950 and worked as a brick mason for Findorf Construction for 15 years. After Helen's death on April 1, 1964, Charles quit bricklaying to better take care of his boys. He married Geraldine Pings on Sept. 30, 1967. She preceded him in death on May 7, 2006. They continued to farm until they moved to Merrimac in 1976. Charles enjoyed visiting with his neighbors in Merrimac, woodworking, playing cards, hunting, and antique cars. For many years he was a member of St. Camillus at Durward's Glen. Upon its closing he became a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church of Merrimac.
