Charlie was born in Huntingburg, Indiana, on April 1, 1938, to Henry and Justina (Hofman) Neuman. He married Jane Ellen Weber on February 6, 1960, at Christ Lutheran Church in Haysville, Indiana.
He and Jane Ellen were parents of an only son, Michael Lee Neuman, who died in June 2018.

He especially loved golf, gardening, travel and visiting with family and friends. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinal fan and traveled to St. Louis at least once a year to enjoy a live game.
Charlie was a world traveler – traveling to 40 countries, including Europe 10 times as well as South America, China, Russia, Ireland, and Egypt. His favorite place in the world was Machu Picchu, Peru. Wherever he traveled, he loved to visit museums and historical sites such as the British Museum, the Louvre, Kremlin, Berlin Wall, and the monarch butterfly sites in Mexico.
