He was also predeceased by his brother Herbert Moulton and his sister Sylvia Rys. He was born in Ware, son of the late Charles A. and Anna (Terrien) Moulton. Charles joined the U. S. Army Air Corps in 1943, serving courageously in World War II as a Supply Technician and earning his sharpshooter qualification.
After returning home, he worked for the Worcester Railroad for 6 years. In 1952 he founded the Moulton Insurance Agency and shortly after opened Moulton Real Estate which later became Century 21 Moulton Real Estate. Charles radiated the true spirit of entrepreneurship.
Charlie was known for his smile, wave and the twinkle in his eye. He loved his family and enjoyed their daily visits. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved fishing, hunting, cutting wood and believed in working hard.
He shared his passion with his children and grandchildren by being the best role model and teacher he could. He was a member of All Saints Church and very active in the community. Charlie was a proud member of the American Legion Post 123, an original member of the Ware VFW, the Quabbin Fisherman’s Association, the Aspen Street Rod & Gun Club, the Ware Grange, the Sportsman Alliance of Maine, the Forks Fish and Game Association of West Forks, Maine, the Maine Antler and Skull Trophy Club, the Boone & Crockett Club, and the Quabbin Gate 43 Fisherman’s Hall of Fame.
As his 1942 Ware High School yearbook said, “Charlie is an outstanding gift to the Rod & Gun Club. Long may he fish and hunt”. .
