Chuck was blessed with many things, including his gift for gab and never meeting a stranger. He truly loved life, enjoying fishing, all sports, The Bears, and living to see the Cubs win a championship. At the top of his list, he loved taking the love of his life, his wife Wilma, dancing, going on road trip adventures, and listening to Elvis songs. He truly loved his Elvis music. Chuck was a hard worker, retiring as a gas station attendant from Exon Mobile in Texas after 18 years of service.

Chuck made mistakes and had regrets from the past, as do we all, but with God's forgiveness, he strived to become a better man over the years.
