Born April 7, 1949, in La Porte, IN, to Gordon Glen and Helen (Smith) Glen-Kirsch. Charles was raised in Door Village and attended Door Village School, where he lived on his family farm. He enlisted in the Navy, proudly serving his country. When he returned to his hometown, he began working in carpentry, a profession he loved.

Charles was active in his community and a longtime member of the Door Village Lions Club. He was an avid NASCAR fan, following his favorite driver, Bill Elliott, and then Chase Elliott. He loved a good game of golf and enjoyed bowling, boating, and skiing on Pine Lake. Even though all of his friends were Chicago Bears Fans, he remained a loyal follower of the Green Bay Packers.
