Chuck had a career in commercial HVAC. He worked for Trane Technologies for over 22 years. He had many supportive and caring colleagues during his time there – the family would like to extend a grateful thank you to each of you.
Chuck enjoyed golfing with his good friend, Lynn, tree climbing, hunting, being outdoors, making sourdough bread, riding on his tractor and dirt bike. He had the ability to build nearly anything, from the house they lived in to crafts and projects for his family, Chuck could build (or fix) it all. His pride and joy was his family, and especially quality time spent wrestling with the grandkids or just being together. He will be so deeply missed.
In memory of Chuck and in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) to advance brain cancer research.
