He was a U.S. Army veteran serving two years during the Korean War and earned an honorable discharge.  Charles held employment at Stallings Air Base in NC and married Frances Carr in 1953 and later migrated to New York City to further his education. He worked for a number of years for H&G Toy Co. and eventually the World Trade Center as a food service manager from where he retired. Charles married Patricia Spriggs (who preceded him in eternal rest) and re-located to Palm Coast, FL and resided there until his health caused him to move back to NY to be with his sons in Staten Island NY. Charles was a proud member of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church of Palm Coast, FL under the pastoral leadership of Reverend Edwin Coffie.

He leaves to cherish his memory two sons, Charles and Jeffrey Thompson and daughter Evelyn Barrack, two children he helped raise Cory and Malissa who called him 'Daddy Charles'; 7 grand children; 5 great grand children; sister-in-law, Sybrnee Thompson; two nephews and his devoted ex-wife.

His 4 siblings: Catherine, John, Paul Frederick and Robert Luis, all preceded him in eternal rest.
