Charles, together with his wife Sandi, farmed their sheep and beef property (Inverness), at Parnassus, all their married life.
Charles perhaps became better known for his wine production from vines in Marlborough.
Cricket was a passion. He was involved firstly with the Parnassus Club, that become part of the Cheviot Club.
At the time of his death he was involved with a fundraising project to upgrade the existing clubrooms. He had a long involvement with the old Hurunui Cricket Sub association, and also with the Canterbury Country District Association, where he had served as president from 2017 until his death.
