Charles Edward was the consummate family man, Renaissance man, hard worker, nature lover, and model of humanity. In the 1950’s, he served his country with great honor in the United States Army and was a highly decorated Korean War veteran. Thereafter, he was a talented engineer for many years with the Whirlpool Corporation.

He spent his free time teaching, learning, volunteering, fishing and painting. He was an active and adored member of the Free Masons. He loved nature, the water, and animals. He was a top tier angler and a principled hunter. He could find a four-leaf clover in any yard. An avid student of history, he collected rare antiques. He was a highly skilled craftsman and painter whose work was displayed at various financial institutions. He gave back in various ways, including through his philanthropic work for veterans and for the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs. A hero to his family and his country, he will be sorely missed.
