He played all sports, enjoyed fishing, collecting rocks, kitchen antiques, coins and most anything odd or unusual. Chuck loved nature, beautiful scenery, sunsets, sunrises, feeding geese, birds and squirrels. He truly enjoyed teaching his grandchildren to fish, play cards, play racquetball and especially enjoyed attending all the grandchildren’s activities. Chuck enjoyed helping others, particularly those who were often overlooked and he always had a joke or story to tell and got pleasure from seeing others laugh.
