Note:   Charles was a Redemptorist priest. He was a chaplain in the army during WW II and was involve in the D-Day landing on Omaha Beach. He died of complications following surgery for bowel cancer. The surgery was successful but his lungs were damaged from many years of cigarette smoking and he was unable to breath without the aid of a machine. There is also some speculation that lung disease may have been genetic as his father and later his sister Hazel both died of lung disease. They too, were heavy smokers.
