Born on April 11, 1928, in Honolulu, Charles graduated from Maui High School, then matriculated at the University of Iowa, where he met and married his wife of 55 years, Diane, graduating with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1951. Having taken ROTC in college, he was immediately called to active duty in the Army Corps of Engineers, and served in the Korean Conflict as a platoon leader earning a Bronze Star and Purple Heart, and received a disability retirement from the Army after losing his right leg in a land mine explosion.
After recovering from his wounds at Tripler Army Hospital, he returned to Maui and worked as a supervisor in the machine shop of the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company. After two years on Maui, he was called to the priesthood, and entered the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, California. In 1957 he was ordained to the Episcopal Ministry. His active ministry covered 31 years, first serving as a Canon of St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Honolulu, then as Archdeacon of Kauai and Rector of All Saint’s Church Kapaa, and for 22 years as Rector of The Church of the Holy Nativity, Honolulu.
He retired in 1988, and travelled the continental United States in a 5th wheel RV with Diane, doing research and writing “The Clergy Search Dilemma,” published in 1991. He then settled in Mesa, Arizona, where he lived and traveled the world with Diane until her death in 2005. In 2006, he met and married Elaine Olson, and enjoyed 4 years of marriage until her death in 2010. In 2012, he married Marilyn Snyder, and moved to Sedona, Arizona, where he loved to look out his study window at the beautiful red mountains, and enjoyed playing his ukulele at events at the retirement community where he lived.
His heart was always in Hawaii, and on a return visit to Kauai in 2004, he decided that this was where he wished to be buried after his death.
He is survived by Marilyn, his wife of 3 years, three children: Jennifer Hugho of Ridgecrest, California, Andrew Crane of Salem, Oregon, Peter Crane of Buffalo, Missouri, seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
