He lived on a farm south of Ellston, Iowa and attended school in Ellston until it closed and then he attended Mount Ayr Community Schools.

Charlie drove trucks, worked on farms, ran dozers and worked at grain elevators, about anything you could do without a lot of education. He also worked as a janitor at the Mount Ayr Community Schools for 11 years. He enjoyed being around all the kids and watching them grow.
In May of 2006 he and Sharon were separated and later divorced.
Charlie and Diane Sickels were married on July 16, 2010. At this time he inherited more kids, Suzi Schaefer, Karen Shannon, and Nancy Elmer.

Charlie enjoyed tractors, He and Diane were members of the Clarke County Old Iron and Nebraska Antique Farming Association. They thoroughly enjoyed the tractor drives not only in Iowa but also in Nebraska. The favorite ones are the ones going across Nebraska border to border. Some of his best friends are his extended tractor family from "out there".

Met Charlie when he was a teenager and he would ride to the dances in Afton on Sat night. He would sneak out his bedroom window and come to town where we would pick him up. He was so shy... Unbelievable as Charlie never met a stranger after he grew up, Loved his first family and did not see much of him in later years. Condolences
