He also had numerous nieces and nephews whom he loved.

Charlie was a simple man, he loved God, he loved his family and he loved his country. He loved being outside, having bonfires, being with Crystal, playing with the grandbabies and having family around. He loved hanging out in the garage (his man cave), working with power tools and just tinkering around. Crystal was always with him as was his beautiful dog, Mattie. He was a happy man and so well loved! He loved Nascar, football, Superhero movies and cartoons. Charlie loved the beach at Oak Island and the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota and everything in between. He and Crystal loved to travel and had many adventures together.
