Charles continued his naval career after the war and retired in 1967. He enjoyed his retirement and loved gardening, playing golf and bridge.
He is survived by his two children, Charlene Ailing and Tom Marinke, both of Bar Harbor. He was predeceased by his wife of 58 years, Irene (Hill) Marinke.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2011 at the Bar Harbor Congregational Church, UCC, 29 Mt. Desert St., Bar Harbor. Spring interment will be at Ledgelawn Cemetery, Bar Harbor.
