Chuck (Charlie) passed away on August 20, 2017 after a brief illness at age 78.

Born and raised in Victoria, Chuck spent most of his working life at Victoria Machinery Depot, proudly becoming a part owner in 1986. Upon retirement, he enjoyed woodworking, gardening and camping with Winn and the grandchildren.
