He graduated in 1964 from Salesianum High School. He continued his education at the University of Delaware where he obtained a degree in Horticulture.
Chuck's work ethic surpassed all, for many years he owned a mushroom growing business and a trucking business.
Chuck was Captain of the University of Delaware Baseball team, he played in Shenandoah Valley Baseball League, his love of baseball continued, he played for the AAA Philly's Farm System Organization as a catcher. After pro ball, he played semi-pro baseball in Wilmington. Later he played fast pitch softball for the Reading Sunners. A few years back he was inducted into the Kennett Old Timers Hall of Fame.
Chuck was an active member of the Harvest Chapel Church, where he made lasting friendships. Last year Chuck volunteered to go on a mission's trip to Haiti. While in Haiti, he was a part of a team of men who built new benches for a church that had none. He provided physical and spiritual support, what he gained from the trip was a deeper understanding of God.
