Well! I found ONE city directory for 1950, for his parents. Was he still living with them? I think so, but it won't be until the 1950 census is released to the public before I can find out. However, he didn't marry until he was 40 years old, so I think he may well have still lived with them?

1962 age 42
A little over a year after their marriage, his father Harry Bushrod Tapp died, 1 September 1962, in Peoria Illinois.
1974, age 54
I suspect that he had his mother Clara live with him after the death of his father. His mother died when he was 54 years old. She was living in Orange, Orange County California, according to her obituary. Charles is living in Hemet, Riverside California. Clara died 17 June 1974.
