His family moved several times during his early youth and teen years but he settled down in his early 20’s in the Michigan and Wisconsin area and raised three beautiful children. By the time Chuck was 40 he began missing the Kansas City area and eventually moved back to his hometown roots, landing in Gladstone, MO.

Chuck’s parents and brother, David, preceded him in death.
