Charles Stahl, 85, was born on February 18, 1938, in California to Zacharias Stahl and Anna Hofer. Charles went to his heavenly home on August 26, 2023, in Los Alamitos, California.

His passion was music, serving as Minister of Music/Choir Director at several churches in the area. He worked as a carpenter for 25 years at both the Long Beach Unified School District and then Southern California Edison.
For 22 years Charles sang with the Masters of Harmony where he won 6 international chorus championship metals.
