"Sonny". He entered the Army soon after graduating from high school. His service to his
country included combat in the Korean War, 25 years as a Sergeant in the Army, and 17 years as a military contractor at Letterkenny Army Depot.
Charles was happily married for 63 years to his beautiful German girl Helga. They raised 3

Charles enjoyed traveling all over the world. He loved his family and his pets. He had a
good, long, healthy life. He shared his humor with friends and strangers and usually had a
smile on his face.
Rest in Peace. Say hello to God for us.
