He was part of the peace keeping troops in Europe after W.W. II where his language skills and cultural awareness of French and German cultures proved invaluable in aiding relations in foreign affairs.

His later years were spent maintaining his lakeside home which brought him lasting memories with his beloved wife Lucille. Chuck was an accomplished business professional and athlete. As president and founder of CPo Associates, Chuck established his reputation for honesty and integrity in his field. He served as President of the Underwriters Insurance Association. As an athlete, he achieved several awards while in the U.S. Army for long distance swimming on an international basis. This led to interest by the U.s. Olympic Swim association to have Chuck coach within their organization in Florida. While he was honored by the opportunity, Chuck decided to return to Maine which he and Lucille loved. Chuck was a practicing Roman Catholic who was proud to have been the first couple married and have all three of their children baptized at the Franciscan Greene Monastery.
