Born in St. Louis, Missouri, he was the son of Helen Maureen Bishop and Charles Aloise Venator.   Charlie earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Missouri Valley College, and he later devoted 30 years of service to the United States Postal Service, where he took pride in the reliability and dedication that defined his career.

His steady presence and unwavering love for his children and grandchildren will be deeply missed and forever cherished.   He is proceeded in death by his parents and sister Charlene Eaton of Springfield, MO
