He served his country in the United States Army from July 2, 1952 to June 11, 1954 and six years in the Army Reserves being Honorably Discharged on June 30, 1960. Charley spent most of his adult life working in the oilfield. He worked as a work over rig operator for Expert Well Service until he retired in 1992. Charley's favorite past time was his love of fishing and hunting. Until his health no longer allowed him to fish, you would find him at Green Meadow Lake or Harry McAdam's regularly.
