He transferred to California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison - Corcoran (SATF - Corcoran) in November 1997.

Chuck married the love of his life, Debbie, on the 16th of September, 2001, gaining Alison as a daughter who he helped to raise as his own. Chuck became grandpa to Ellee Rose in April 2012. Being "Papa" to Ellee Rose brought more joy and fulfillment to his life, than any other role.

Chuck joined NDS May 3rd, 2010 as the Fresno Plant Manager which is the position he continued to hold this year. In this position, Chuck was responsible for the production and quality of NDS's drip irrigation products and for leading about 70-80 employees. Chuck successfully led the plant through many changes and the rapid growth of the NDS's irrigation business. He was an incredibly dedicated, caring, and hard-working leader that was loved and respected both by those he led at the plant and by everyone that he worked with at NDS/NORMA.

He left behind a strong legacy that he will be remembered for and he will be sorely missed by us all.
