Charlie was a paper salesman for 40 years, mostly for Nationwide Papers in Topeka, retiring in 1993. He was a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus, Council No. 8059. Volunteering and giving back was a big part of their lives. While their sons attended Hayden High School, Pat and Charlie became a key part of the alumni and fundraising efforts at Hayden. For over 30 years, “Bingo Charlie” and Pat worked Hayden PACE auctions, bingo and concession stands. A scholarship was created in their honor at Hayden in 2007. They also led pre-marriage classes, assisted with the St. Lawrence Center in Lawrence, KS and he and Pat were mentors and confidants to dozens of their neighborhood kids and sons’ friends. Charlie’s mantra when dropping off his five boys to grade school as well as to his grandkids today has always been “Do Some Good!”. Charlie set an outstanding example of doing “good” in his lifetime!
