Chuck started his own insurance brokerage that would soon become the Standard Equity Agency which he would head for the next fifty years. Chuck and Sarah are founding members of St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church in Sandy Springs and the Atlanta Country Club.
Chuck is survived by his wife of 63 years Sarah Moody Irle, his sons Mark, Charles Jr., and Jeff, and his daughters Linda and Beth Ann, eight grandchildren and many relatives. He was preceded in death by his son Eric.
