Chuck’s life is influenced by experience, emotions, and actual human connection. He has been raised as a small-town child with a big heart and has spent a life establishing connections with his kin, people he knows, people he does not know, and mostly with the women who have lit his way. Since his days in grade school, Chuck was, and has remained, someone that people instinctively lean on, whether in the combat forces or since then. Wise, kind, and unapologetically cool, he had a life that was crammed with meaning, laughter, love, and intelligence.
