Legacy
Born in Philadelphia, PA, Charles formerly lived in Pennsauken, Woodbury Heights and Blackwood.  He was a proud United States Navy Veteran of World War II, where he was a mechanic and served from 1945-1949.  He was a 50 year member of the Masonic Lodge of Pennsylvania, belonged to the William L.

Prior to retirement, Charles was a certified public accountant for many local businesses.   

Charles was a quiet man, and when he spoke, his message was profound.  Charles was an avid Philadelphia Phillies fan and enjoyed completing crossword puzzles.  Charles was a devoted family man and cherished memories will be treasured by his loved ones.  Charles, Mary and the family, traveled to places such as England, Scotland, Holland, Thailand, Canada, Bermuda  and many states in the USA.
