He loved being on Norris Lake and taught his nieces and nephews how to ski and wake board. Charles enjoyed his many nieces and nephews and was always there to support and encourage them. Charles had a beautiful voice. He sang as a tenor for services and concerts for Fountain City Methodist Church of Knoxville, TN. Besides singing, Charles also played the piano and guitar.
