Chuck married Cheri Decker in 2012 among the palm trees by the beautiful riverside in Jensen Beach, Florida.  Chuck worked as a teacher, glazer, and driver.  Chuck loved God, his dogs, travelling, spending time with friends and family, and was an avid animal and nature lover.  His loyalty to Florida Gators was unsurpassed.  Among his many hobbies were sports, fishing, golfing, music, cooking and grilling, and enjoying early mornings at the beach. Chuck’s New England Seafood family were dear to his heart.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the Jupiter Medical Center and to the Jackson Memorial Hospital for their kindness and caring in his final days.
