His spiritual side drew strength and solace from crystals and healing stones, reflecting a deep belief in the power of inner harmony. He was an avid reader and never turned down a good game of cribbage. Chuck had a lifelong dream of visiting Costa Rica. His resilience, curiosity, and gentle spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Services will be private in accordance with Chuck's wishes.
