He worked at Wesco Products, and with Frank Donato. Chuck loved to go fishing, coin collecting, working in the local animal shelter and spending time with the many pets he had over his life. Chuck was an avid Eagles fan and was thrilled when his beloved Eagles won their first Superbowl.

He enjoyed watching all his Philly sports teams as well. His friends at Pinkney’s Garage will miss his visits where he would come in to have coffee and chat. Chuck loved to spend time with his grandson Hunter and FaceTime with Michael and Brody when he could not visit, and of course being at home with Lisa, Lyndsay and Hunter.
