Chuck enjoyed many things in life, hunting, fishing and a lot of golf. He would say “You don’t have to hit them far, just straight” and then he did just that.
He enjoyed cooking, if you left his house hungry, it was your own damn fault. He was big on routine, sticking with the things that worked best for him. His Sunday Omelets will be greatly missed.
Chuck was a Veteran, serving in the United States Navy during the Korean Conflict and was Honorably Discharged in 1952.
