Charles was a Hod Carrier and member of the Hod Carriers Union #177 from 1958 until retirement in 1991. During a recent EKG Chuck was asked how he was doing? He replied, “Like a brick layer climbing scaffolding with a hod on.”  Charles was a life member and past worthy President of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Concord Aerie #3279.
