He was born May 30, 1948, in Berryton, Kansas, to Charlie and Pauline (Martin) Shaw. He graduated from Shawnee Heights High School in 1966. Chuck grew up on the family farm near Topeka, KS where he learned hard work will get you any where you want to go. He married his first wife and was blessed with his two sons. He was a loving and caring father and always made sure they never needed for anything. His greatest achievement was he opened his own business in the machinery repair business which he enjoyed for over 40 years. His business allowed him to travel throughout the United States. Through his travels he has met many people and has made several lasting friendships. When Chuck wasn't working you could find this Proud American doing the next thing he loved the most, cooking, listen to country music, sipping a glass of crown royal and telling a story to his family and friends.
