Chuck enjoyed woodworking and building Christmas displays for the home as well as gardening and planting flowers every season.

He was also very involved with the Boy Scouts of America serving as a scoutmaster for troop 113 for several years and was an avid supporter of the Girl Scouts with his daughter.

Always calm, cool, collected and stoic, he gave people assurance and confidence in life. To be the best person they could be. He gave everyone the benefit of the doubt but reminded you always of the value of remaining truthful and loving. He was the ultimate "dad", always humming or whistling a favorite tune.
