Charles worked for 26 years for Danbury Printing and Litho, and 20 years for Crane CPI. He was well respected by co-workers as well as clients. His commitment and persistence in his work reflected his character.

Charlie, as he was known to his friends, was an avid softball player in various leagues in Danbury and on teams across the state. He was also an accomplished bowler and enjoyed being a part of leagues in Danbury, where he forged lifelong friendships.

His passion was his family. He was a quiet and private man, who would help anyone in need. He loved tinkering with anything mechanical and helping family members fix anything they needed fixed. He will be sadly missed.
