Charles was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He attended the University of Pittsburgh graduating with high honors. He was a professor at Thomas Jefferson University for 30 years. Charles enjoyed being on the admissions committee and guiding students through the process.  He was a very devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend, most recently a great-grandfather. Charles was a jack of all trades, able to repair, make or fix most anything in the home.

He will be greatly missed, may he rest in peace, with the Lord Jesus.
