Charlie was a fireman/damage controlman in the U.S. Coast Guard, a surveyor for the Soil Conservation Service, and Reservoir Manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers before retiring long enough to assist his son in building Roger Animal Hospital. He then returned to work as a Project Manager on various construction and water management sites. He loved the outdoors: fishing, hunting, camping, water-skiing, etc. and passed this love onto his children. He and Jeanette were avid College Football fans who loved for the season to start, watching kids with heart hone their skills, and learning from coaches that care. Graveside service for family will be held at a later date. His family would like to thank his various caregivers with Home Helpers, Veterans Care Coordination, the U.S. Departments of Veteran Affairs, and AccentCare Home Health and Hospice caregivers.
