He attended Washington High School, leaving at the end of his senior year to serve as a Naval airman in the Pacific theater of WWII.  Chuck served proudly with VPB-109 (The Reluctant Raiders).

Over the years they raised their family at homes in Southeast and Northeast Brainerd and at Whipple Lake in Baxter. Then followed many happy retirement years in Daytona Beach, FL, with lots of visits from family and friends.
