Life took Chuck down several different career paths including managing several auto dealership parts departments; owning three businesses: Bingo Pizza, C&T Transport, and Natural Stone Care; working as a TSA agent at the Tampa International Airport; and most recently working as a part-time associate at Lowe’s where he was known as “The Mayor of Lowe’s” because of his vast repertoire of knowledge and constant willingness to help both colleagues and customers.

He was especially fond of James Bond movies, classic rock, and the theatre and loved sharing these things with friends and family. Chuck was also a member of the Knights of Columbus.
