Most people knew Charles as Joe, a nickname he picked up at a young age and used most of his life. He was proud of his time working for the county and Bruners Salvage, but he was most proud of his time working at Stilwell Tire Shop with Ron Wisely. That is where you would find him most days, drinking coffee and visiting with everyone who stopped by the shop.
