Uncle Charlie, as he was commonly called was from the Island of Wakenaam.

He was a farmer and also a laborer. He cut lumber to construct homes.
In 1996, Gardiner, who was at the time residing on Wakenaam relocated to the Essequibo Coast with his late wife, Virginia Seales. That union bore seven children. Three of those adult children are alive to date.
The late Charles Gardiner was an active member of the Airy-Hall Anglican Church.
Uncle Charlie was laid to rest on Monday.
