He retired from Kennedy Valve as a machinist. Every year he looked forward to camping at Brenchley’s Lake, fishing and family time around the campfire. Charles was always finding something to tinker with, even with his declining health. In the past few year, he had formed a special bond with the staff at the Sayre VA clinic as they became like a second family to him and he praised them very highly.
