He also had eleven wonderful grandchildren and two great grandsons. Charles spent 38 years employed in the Aerospace Industry. Thirty-six of those years were at Raytheon in Goleta, CA, where he was involved in the design development, test, and manufacture of electronics for the Military. After retirement, the Stoll's spent time travelling around the USA in their RV and travelling to various parts of the world. In 2007 they moved to the Samarkand Retirement Community in Santa Barbara. Charles had been an active member of Calvary Baptist Community in since 1958 and has been involved in most of the Church's Ministries. He loved the Lord and his favorite book in the Bible was Romans. His most beloved verses in Romans were Chapter 8, Verses 38-9. "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
