Chuck was born on Oct. 10, 1949, in Toledo, Ohio. He graduated from Start High School, and later attended the University of Toledo for three years where he majored in accounting. At the age of 19 while attending UT, he started working for United Parcel Service, where he was employed for the next 40 years in various clerical positions.

Chuck met and married his wife Peggy (Sherman) in 1972. They were married for over 51 years. Some of the happiest moments of his life were the birth of his three sons, Andrew, Kerry and Matthew.

He enjoyed spending time with his family, and later coached all three sons in Little League baseball at Delta, Ohio. Chuck enthusiastically attended all his sons' sporting events, including football, baseball and wrestling.

He retired from UPS in the fall of 2009, after which he began babysitting his first two grandsons, Athyn and Jonah. Later after they started school, Chuck made a home for and provided guidance for Peggy's nephew, Logan Sherman. After all of this, he then worked as a painter for five years for his son Kerry.

Chuck was a very loving and kind husband, father and grandfather.

He was preceded in death by his father, Leo B. Lesniewicz; mother, Virginia (Zurawski) Lesniewicz; and his in-laws, Lawrence (Chuck) Sherman and Joyce (Shoemaker) Sherman.
