He was a passionate animal lover, a history enthusiast with a special interest in American history and the Civil War, and always had a bit of trivia or wisdom to share on any topic. His zest for life was infectious, and seen in his love of motorcycles, his fondness for movies- such as The Big Lebowski, The Shining, and Westerns- and his quick wit that kept everyone laughing.  Despite living a great distance from one another, Chuck maintained a very close relationship with Bob and Eileen.  Chuck loved his three children beyond measure, and he let them know it every day.
