Chuck had a successful career in construction, where he built many homes in the greater Tumwater with his father and brother. Chuck was passionate for his family and all things outdoors. He loved baseball, hunting, fishing, camping and his family and friends. His stomping grounds included Mt. St. Helens, The Toutle river, Hollywood Gorge, Vail, Oakville, Brooklyn, Satsop and Mineral.
