Charles was best known as an avid antique bottle colector, excavating for bottles throughout the state. His knowledge of antique bottles and how to find them was known throughout the country. He was also a geneologist and amassed a very thorough family history.

Charles was also know for his dry and sometimes silly sense of humor, his loyalty to friends and family and his goodness towards those he loved. Those memories will be forever with us.
