Born November 20, 1940, in Youngstown, Ohio, he was the son of Jean (Campbell) and William Brecount Hoffmaster. He was a 1958 graduate of South High School.

Charles retired from the General Motors plant in Lordstown, Ohio where he worked as a skilled tool repairman for more than 25 years. Before his employment at GM, Charles worked as a power tool repairman at Moff-Master Power Tools in Youngstown with his beloved brother William C. Hoffmaster, sister-in-law Mary Lou Hoffmaster, and cherished nephews Billy and Scott Hoffmaster. Prior to that, Charles worked in Youngstown as a meat cutter at A&P Supermarket and a delivery boy at the Farmer’s Daughter Restaurant. Outside of his work, Charles volunteered for many years as a Scout Leader for the Boy Scouts where he shared his love for the outdoors with others.

During his retirement, Charles enjoyed many weekends selling antiques at local flea markets. Other hobbies included tending to his garden, listening to oldies music, and spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was a kid at heart with a twinkle in his eye and loved to share an engaging story. He had a love for books, history, nature, and fishing.
