Bill served in the armed services, retiring with the rank of major. He was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in freight sales and retired after 33 years. While his service with Pennsylvania RR was most enjoyable, its merger with New York Central — after which it became Penn Central — was not. This accounted for his retirement, during which he concentrated on golf.

A fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Charlie was a past president of the Philadelphia Pediatric Society and of the Philadelphia Allergy Society. “Treating the sick child,” Charlie once wrote, “and the academics of medicine have been a challenge. I have enjoyed very much the family life with my wife and six children (two physicians). Tennis, squash, gardening, and trout fishing have been my main extracurricular activities.” Charlie’s first wife, Adrienne Charles Classen, died in 1946. In 1950 he married Jeanne Crook, who survives, as does Charlie’s brother, John ’38. Also surviving are three sons, Scott, David, and Peter; two daughters, Beverly C. Cavitt and Anne C.
