Born and raised in Philadelphia, Charles lived in Maple Shade and later was a longtime resident of Clayton before moving to Elk Township 18 years ago. He graduated from Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia and proudly served in the US Air Force. Charles worked as a driver for Delaware Valley Wholesale Florist for 25 years until his retirement in 2013. He was a member of the Clayton Elks Lodge and enjoyed helping his niece, Gin Keefer & John, on their Christmas tree farm. Charles was addicted to playing slots on his iPad and liked to sit outside and enjoy a beer with friends. His family fondly recalls him saying, “There will be a little extra in your envelope”. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
