Chuck (or Charlie as many knew him) was born in St Louis and graduated from Southwest High School. Shortly afterward he was drafted into the United Stats Army. He served as a specialist during the Korean War. After his tour of duty, he attended and graduated from Harris Teachers College in St Louis. While in college, he worked as a night manager for a local motel. After graduation he taught school for a short time before beginning his 30-year career at McDonnell Douglas eventually becoming a manager in Material Operations. He also worked part-time processing hazardous material freight for Flying Tiger Airline. After retirement from McDonnell Douglas, he worked as the chief guard for a gated community.

Chuck married his high school sweetheart, Marjorie Marchand, and he became the proud father of their two sons, Charles Michael and Steven Edward. He was a Boy Scout master and coached Little League baseball for Steve and Mike. He never missed any of Steve's baseball games and wrestling matches.

He is survived by his second wife, Sheila, of 42 years. He and Sheila shared a wonderful life together including happy hours, dancing, trips to Las Vegas, San Diego, Europe, Mexico and Punta Cana. He also enjoyed many fishing tips to Canada with his son Steve and brother Bill. He was a loving husband, father, and brother with a great sense of humor. He was always willing to help others in need.

He was a devoted father, stepfather, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many. He will be dearly missed. Rest in peace, Chuck.
