After military service in World War II, Charlie entered the field of agriculture—first in farming and then as manager of the Wayne County office of the US Department of Agriculture, Stabilization and Conservation. His work involved conservation practices and administration of federal assistance to farmers. His thirty years of dedicated commitment were recognized in 1982 when Charlie received the national award for outstanding service.
Charlie and his wife, Elaine, lived in a big farmhouse surrounded by orchards in Sodus, New York, for over thirty-two years. Here, they raised their six daughters and welcomed twelve grandchildren.
After retirement, Charlie’s love of nature continued and he entertained his daughters and grandchildren with walks through the orchards and exciting tales of wildlife. His vivid imagination led him to create stories with colorful and interesting animal characters. Included in these stories were subtle life lessons.
Charlie went home to his Creator in 2006. His passing left a painful void in the family, but his legacy of love of nature, inspiration, and respect for all God’s creatures lives on.view less
