In his spare time, he loved fishing, was an avid bowler at Community Lanes in Xenia for many years and liked playing cards. Charles and his family went on a lot of family trips, all over Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, etc.
He leaves behind a loving family who will miss him dearly, along with many good friends and neighbors.
No visitation, per his wishes. The family will have a graveside service at New Burlington Cemetery and a Celebration of Life at a later date, the family will notify everyone when decided.
Thank you, to the Newcomer Funeral Home in Beavercreek for all their help with everything.
