On May 9, 1987, Charlie united into marriage with Erin Durkin and made Moira their home. Charlie was a longtime communicant of St. Mary's Church. He was an avid fan of the New York Yankees, and never missed an episode of "Gun Smoke". He enjoyed spending time with his family, especially watching his children play sports and then his grandchildren playing sports. He also enjoyed a nice day in the woods be it cutting wood for winter or picking berries with a good friend. Treasured memories will be forever in the hearts of his wife Erin, his son and daughter-in-law Ryan & Ashley O'Connor of Moira, his grandchildren Landon, Declan, and Jude. His chosen mother, Joyce Johnson of Tupper Lake and a brother Dennis (Lynne) O'Connor of Moira also survive him. Charlie is also predeceased by his parents.
