One of his favorite songs was, “Keep on The Sunny Side,” and this was kind of his philosophy of life along with his desire to serve God and country. Charlie always had a positive outlook toward young people too, and they liked him. The camaraderie of the men and others who stopped in to buy or visit made his garage sales very special.

He played guitar, accordion, piano, and harmonica and liked to sell them via garage sales, and when they were being “tried out” there was often a mini-concert going on. People looked forward to them and often asked him when he was going to do another one. (He has been retired from that for many years.) He also enjoyed holding rummage sales in his garage and made many friends while doing them. While continuing his Minnesota activities, he tried various things including getting licensed as a federal firearms dealer. On October 17, 1980, Charles married Jennie Schuler, and Fargo provided a new outlet for his entrepreneurship. With his son, Mike, he harvested wild rice all over Northern Minnesota- the company is still in existence today and he filled orders in 2021. He also started a business called “Minnesota Aquatic Nurseries” which dealt with wild rice, sago, wild celery and other duck related plants. In addition to farming and trapping, he sold property insurance for Lake Park & Cuba Insurance of Lake Park, MN. On January 15, 1957, he married Joyce LaGoo. After his tour of duty, he worked in the iron ore mines of Minnesota and the gold mines of South Dakota, before starting to farm in Sugarbush Township of Becker County. He often referred to himself as an “old vet” with patriotic pride. He served in the US Army for two years, and was in the Korean War with the 3rd Infantry Division. He was a member of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Callaway. He was a good student and he enjoyed school later he took a course in real estate from NDSU.
