Chuck was very active in the community of Struthers and the school system. He had been an active member of the Struthers Gridiron Club where he had served as vice-president. Chuck volunteered many hours of his time organizing fundraisers and working Gridiron events, such as the annual golf outing. He was a trainer for the Struthers Football team and had volunteered for many years. He was an avid Struthers sports fan, as well as the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Green Bay Packers. "Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat."

Besides his parents, Chuck was preceded in death by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Donald and Thelma Pike and a nephew, Jason White.

Chuck was born to serve others and left an impact on everyone he met. His laugh was unforgettable and he could light up a room. He will be sadly missed by all he knew.
