Chuck loved playing hockey and watching the Boston Bruins. He also loved playing tennis, reading about World War II, watching Jeopardy, solving Sudoku puzzles, and an extra dry martini. He will always be remembered for his crazy sense of humor, and holding court on his deck where he quizzed anyone present on the world and state capitals.

You never knew what would come out of his mouth which made him the most wonderful man to be around. Chuck loved his family and friends and was loved by so many. He will be missed immensely and his stories will live on forever…indeed.
