He received an A.A. in Business from Nichols College in 1958 and a B.A. from American International College in 1961. He married Susan Gianis in 1968, and was a loving father of three children.

Charlie owned the former J.A. Sanborn Company at 28 Merchants Row, next door to Quincy Market in Boston. J.A. Sanborn Company was voted 1979’s Best Fish Market by Best of Boston and attracted customers from across the country.

Charlie was an avid boater and fisherman. He enjoyed spending his time on Lake Wequaquet in his childhood home and Race Point Beach in his camper. Recently, his winters were spent in Ft. Myers Florida with his sister Jackie. Charlie was a skilled craftsman and enjoyed projects from small, detailed woodwork to home construction.
