He was honorably discharged and returned to Colfax and went to work with his step-father, Pete Crumbaker, on the farm. He met a beautiful young lady who was working in the County Assessor's office. Charlie and Anna Lee Silvey married May 27, 1949. They lived in Colfax for a few years before moving out to the farm on Crumbaker Road. They lived and farmed together there for the next 60 years. In addition to farming and raising their family of six children; Charlie also worked in the off-season for the Roger Brothers Pea Plant. He enjoyed bowling on leagues in Colfax, was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. Charlie always had a great sense of humor and keen wit. He enjoyed perusing the car lots and equipment dealerships; always looking for that next big purchase needed for the farm. He had a large group of friends and enjoyed drinking coffee with many at any time. Charlie and Anna Lee belonged to the Heritage Club and had taken some trips with that group. In earlier days, Charlie took his family to the Snake River nearly every Sunday for boating and fun. He retired in 1988 but continued living at the farm until moving to Kennewick in August. He was preceded in death by a brother, Warren and a sister, Della Snow as well as his parents. Bruning Funeral Home =======================================
