Shortly after high school, Charles joined the U.S. Army, serving two tours in Vietnam, as well as being awarded the Bronze Star. Charles's time in the military left a lasting impact upon his life. Upon his discharge from the military, Charles took to being a handyman, skillfully helping others with their projects. During a painting project, Charles made friends with another painter from Blackwell. After visiting his friend, Charles fell in love with the Kay County area, moving to Ponca City in 1998. Once in Ponca City, Charles set about making friends and joined the local VFW. His daily pursuits around town included visiting his friends at various downtown businesses and sampling the fare of the local restaurants, all the while being guarded about who he would let into his life. When the conditions were right, Charles found peace in dropping a line at his favorite fishing spots around the area.
