At the encouragement of one of his customers he began selling cars, later going to work for that customer as a manager when he and his partner opened Brooks McKnight Chevrolet in Bellevue. He retired from there in 1999 after 30 years. Chuck was active in the Overlake Rotary Club for many years, holding several offices within the club and making many friends there as well. Chuck was also very active in his homeowners association and took great pride in being sure the complex was well taken care of. Chuck enjoyed travel, especially cruising, but family was the most important thing in his life. He looked forward to having family over or going to see them and especially the family Christmases together. He will be greatly missed by family and friends alike. There will be a celebration of his life at the Inglebrook Cabana on 159th and Northup way in Bellevue on April 16, 2011 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. The family would like to thank Evergreen Hospice for their help and support at the end and is requesting that in lieu of flowers a donation be made to Chuck's favorite charity the Make a Wish foundation.
