Charlie served in the U.S. Navy and was a veteran of World War II. After leaving the Navy he worked as a truck driver for many years. He was a member of Head of the River Baptist Church. Some of Charlie’s fondest memories were of attending his children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events, and digging clams with his brother, Robert. He was loved not only by his family, but also by those who helped care for him in his final years. His family would like to thank the staff of the B-unit at the Maine Veterans’ Home for all the wonderful care they gave to Charlie and the compassion they have shown to all of us during this time. He will be especially missed by his cousin, Billy, Davis who he spent much time with on the B-unit.
