Charlie worked for GM for over 30 years and when he retired in 2007 he landed his favourite job ever, as the store handyman at Zellers in Lindsay.
He enjoyed a wide range of hobbies from wood working to wine making throughout his life.
He was a loving, outgoing father and grandfather who enjoyed spending time with his family whenever he could.
As per his wishes, Charlie will be cremated and laid to rest at MOUNT LAWN CEMETERY in Whitby in the summer of 2020. There will be no funeral at this time but a Celebration of Life after his burial.
