Chuck was a longtime member of Eddy Creek Baptist Church. He loved the outdoors, especially camping, boating, fishing, and traveling with his grandchildren. His famous "campfire toast" will live on in family memories for years to come. He also enjoyed woodworking and could often be found in his workshop crafting something by hand.
