Charles loved spending time among family and his many friends, and he never met a stranger. His greatest past time was fishing all over the Gulf Coast - he was one of the best. In later years, most of his time was spent reading the Bible and loving his family.
Charles "The Worm" Gage worked on the docks at the Port of Houston - dedicating 51 years of service to Local 1273 and the I.L.A. Retirees Association. He served as President and continued as President Emeritus to the I.L.A. Retirees Association for 25 years. He was a devoted leader both loved and admired by many colleagues and their families.
