He is now at peace.Born in 1941 in Baltimore, Chuck enjoyed a youth full of adventure only the city could offer.

From 1969 until his retirement 35 years later, he worked in customer service at Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. During those decades, Chuck loved golfing in the Poconos, afternoons at Pimlico, and crabbing on the Magothy River with lifelong friends. In retirement, Chuck and his best friend and beloved wife, Ginny, relished many cruises and trips to Atlantic City and Las Vegas. They were the great love of each other's lives.
