Charles had fond memories of attending French High School in Beaumont; however, after moving to Orange, he graduated from West Orange High School, lettering in golf. He attended Lamar University in Beaumont. Excelling at playing guitar, he especially loved folk music and Spanish guitar. Charles and his wife, Mary, enjoyed singing in the Chancel Choir at First United Methodist Church, with a highlight being touring and singing in Spain in 2009. Charles contracted polio as a baby, but prevailed to pursue many different careers, including selling insurance, web development, e-book publishing, IT forensics expert, as well as building and repairing computers. An avid computer game player, he loved everything about computers. If not for polio, Charles no doubt would have attempted becoming a military pilot as he loved flying and all things military. Now unfettered by earthly afflictions, he surely is soaring above the clouds.
