He was a true sports enthusiast. Loved hockey and took the position of Coach, Manager, and organizer of hockey events. A true Toronto Maple Leafs fan, who cheered for them until the end. Charlie loved his Indigenous roots and was in constant pursuit of Traditional Teachings and passing his knowledge to those he loved.
