Chuck was a member of the St. John's United Church of Christ in Kenton where he led the Golden Buckeye Sunday School Class. He was a board member of LOVE Inc. in Kenton. He was a man of many words and loved the English language. He enjoyed creating puns, some very clever, some not. He was an avid sports fan year-round and had a special place in his heart for the OSU Buckeyes. His idea of a good vacation was to drive hundreds of miles or to fly across the continent to visit with his extended family. He loved people, loved his work and was loved by many, many people whose lives he affected with his service, friendship and caring. His passion was supporting people during their time of need.
