His mother was a first generation Italian who served as a court interpreter and who would later organize and lead the first Women’s Democratic League in New Jersey. His father was a business man who owned the pool halls and bowling alleys that were a daily part of young Charlie’s life. He was the “first of 13 children”, as his mother would say, of which only two survived to a significant age. As a child, Charlie was “strong as a bear". He loved boxing and playing pool and decrying the violin lessons foisted upon him by his parents. At the age of 19 he married 17 year old Elizabeth DiMaggio who gave birth to their 3 children, Alice, Maria and Anthony. He eventually joined the Bound Brook police force for which, after many years of service, he served as Captain. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and golfing in his spare time until his retirement in Hollywood, Florida where he watched over his grown children, his 10 grandkids and 12 great grandchildren (and now countless great great grandchildren). He was truly adored by his grandchildren who had the pleasure of enjoying his boisterous company as he played with them, offered them the official “goody bag” of treats and drove them to their piano lessons. In his retirement, he “got so damn bored” that he decided to take up writing his masterpiece, Genesis II. He died at the ripe old age of 88 in Orlando, FL January 8, 1997.показать меньше
