Charlie was a hard-working man his entire life, often working multiple jobs at one time. He worked for Dairimaid, Sealtest, First Lutheran Church, and Park Avenue Pharmacy for over 50 years. Charlie just recently retired in May of 2023. 

Charlie was a man of great faith and was a member of the Christian Missionary Alliance Church in Chambersburg, PA. He often greeted fellow worshippers, before the official greeters had a chance, for Sunday service. He enjoyed being part of the small group on Sunday evenings. 

Charlie was a family man and devoted his life to providing for his family in many ways. He was always loving, kind, gentle and compassionate to all those he encountered. A man of few words, he always had a smile and a story to share.
