Charles grew up in a small railroad town in Clinton County, Renovo Pennsylvania. As young man he worked with the Civilian Conservation Corps (C.C.C.) and helped to make firebreaks to control bush and wildfires. He worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad as a Signal Man, Brakeman and Electrician. He served with the United States Army – the 24th Signal Company in Okinawa Japan during the Asiatic Pacific Theater WWII. He re-enlisted into the Army National Guard and served with the 728th Battalion division. During this time, he also served on the USCGC Half Moon W-378 ship and was later transferred to the Staten Island Lighthouse as a radar operator. He attended the Williamsport State Beauty School where he studied Barbering and Cosmetology under the direction of his Uncle.

He later moved to Baltimore MD and owned a nightclub called the Golden Horn. He owned two Beauty Salons and later took up teaching, where her retired from the Baltimore City School System. Charlie was always on the go! If he was not working his daytime or night-time jobs, he was renovating his house or other properties. He loved his family and you could count on him to get a laugh. He just had a way of making everyone feel at home. Charlie loved music and dancing. For decades he would go dancing and continued to drive himself to a weekly dance until he was 92. Charlie passed peacefully to our Lord Jesus Christ with his son by his side on the evening of August 26, 2020. May peace be with us all as we reflect on the life of my father, Charles Francis Trovato. I love you Dad, you will be missed.
