Chuck was a millwright for many years and served as president of a local United Steelworkers union. He worked, retired and continued to work until well into his 80s. He had a very strong work ethic. He was a man who could take apart, repair, or build almost anything, at the same time collecting every tool he could ever need. Family and friends could count on him to show up anytime, day or night, when they needed help or advice. Chuck also took great pride in keeping a beautiful home and yard. He loved working on cars, riding motorcycles, playing pool, and baseball. He was a fun-loving prankster, loved to laugh and had the best smile! He had a very special place in his heart for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was always happy when he could spend time with them. He was a good man, loving husband, and a wonderful Dad (Pop) and Papa. He is so loved and will be greatly missed!
