Chuck’s lifetime achievements and accolades were numerous and vast. He was a force to be reckoned with that fiercely loved his family. Born to farmers, he was a self-taught, hardworking business man that found much success from his own street smarts and incredible mind for business. He was an outstanding athlete that ended up enlisting in the Air force. After marrying the love of his life, he worked as a welder for Cameron Iron works, where he eventually became the Union President. Not long after he founded his two bingo halls that are still in business today.

Aside from his many business accomplishments, he was an avid hunter and farmer. His most treasured role later in life was as “Pops”. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His Family is forever grateful to him and committed to keeping his legacy alive.

The great amount of love, life lessons, and business knowledge that we learned from him is unmeasurable and invaluable to us all. He will be greatly missed, admired, and loved immensely by many.
