Milks along with 4 nephews and their families: Robert (Emily) Greenman and sons Colin and Andrew; Donald (Brenna) Greenman and son Damian; Jeffery (Rachael) Greenman and sons Landon, Logan and Chase.

Charlie was a quiet man who loved animals and took in every stray that came along. His second love was chocolate candy, a day never went by without a bowl of chocolate sitting beside him.

His lifelong hobby was collecting toy precision tractors and building miniature farms. He loved going to auctions and tractor shows. He also was an avid reader on the Civil War and he and his wife traveled to many Civil War battlegrounds.
