In his early years Chuck worked on the farm and their orchards while attending New Plymouth High School. After graduating from New Plymouth High School in 1950 he was drafted into the Navy. Upon returning from the Navy he married Jody Evans on December 27th 1955.

One of Chuck’s first jobs was at Manser Ford Inc. He enjoyed this job to its fullest as he had a passion for cars especially Fords. After learning a great deal working for Mansers he continued on to be the head mechanic at the Co-op in New Plymouth. His expertise, honesty and loyalty kept his shop extremely busy. In his later years, he finished his career driving propane truck for the Cenex in New Plymouth.

Chuck had a passion for physical work. He loved to farm and he loved the Ford 8N series of tractors. He seemed to be the happiest while working on his tractors, spending time with Bear (dog) and enjoying the peace and quiet out on the farm. He was proud to be born in New Plymouth, be a lifelong resident and to pass away in his home in New Plymouth.
