Charlie was raised in Turtle Lake alongside his six siblings, where he developed a strong work ethic and deep sense of family that would define his life. 

In 1965, Charlie began working on the farm for David Riebe. During that time, he met the love of his life, Joyce (Milligan) Weible. Charlie and Joyce were married on October 1, 1967.
