A few years down the road he met a wild, beautiful, red headed songbird who matched his zest for life. He knew instantly that she was his best friend and soul mate. The person he would experience every high, low and adventure with; Deborah Ferrin, aka Dora Jean. Their love of music brought them together and six months later they were married. Chuck took to being a dad to Kristen and Calie instantly, and even adopted every cat they snuck into his home. In 2012 they packed up their bags and moved to Colorado where he worked for the University in Boulder. As a diehard husker fan, he was teased relentlessly about his choice in football teams and flaunted his favorite teams’ gear. He was a gifted musician and an accomplished sound man. Chuck loved his IPA’s , rock and roll, wood working, licensed ham radio operator, became a custom brewer, completed every Cisco certification to Architect level, became a Harley fanatic and took on Sturgis and scaled numerous mountains.
