Charles was married to the late Mary Eleanora Lyles Douglas in 1957 until her departure in 1998. From that union, they had 7 children. Charles was loved for his loving, affectionate persona when around people.

He enjoyed fishing, going to Baltimore Orioles games, and visiting the Casino's when time permitted. He was an avid Dallas Cowboy's fan that faithfully watched the Cowboys and Redskins play. Grandpa took pride in baking his sheet cakes for family birthday's. Most of all, he loved being around family and friends.
