Charles graduated from Bowling Green State University with his Master’s Degree in Business Education. His career began teaching business classes, and later becoming the Dean of Marion Technical College. After retirement from education, he took up his passion for cooking and for 15 years was the General Manager of Ryan’s Steakhouse in Fremont.
Charles was an avid cook and baker, always searching for new recipes to perfect. He also enjoyed women’s fast pitch softball, jumbo word search books, and daily trips to Walmart. But above all else, Charles loved the Lord Jesus Christ. In a letter he left for his family, Charles wrote, “Through your sadness, rejoice and make it a joyous homecoming for me. Make sure you stay firm in your stand for our precious Lord and Savior. It won’t be long until we will be reunited and can have all of eternity to be together.”
