He served in the U.S. Army, attending basic training in Fort Ord, California, and then serving in Anchorage, Alaska. He married Diana May Sanders in January 1962. They had four children, Lisa, Charlene, Mark and Hope Ann. They were married for 18 years. He enjoyed hunting, and fishing with the family as well as going camping, boating, and water skiing with his brother and sisters and their families.

He also ran the La Tiendieta store from this same location for a number of years. In 2005, he opened AF Auto Sales, and began selling used cars and later closed his laundry and dry cleaning business. He enjoyed being self-employed, and was one of the hardest working men you would ever meet. He took great pride in helping others when he could, and was generous with his time. Chuck enjoyed meeting the "guys" for coffee and swapping tall tales. He was a jack of all trades and could fix anything. His greatest love was dancing! He was an amazing dancer and he went dancing nearly every weekend at the Five Mile or Rumors until he was too sick to do so. His favorite bands to dance to were Country Drive and the Dalton Gang. Chuck is survived by his wife, Rita, his sister Donna (Ken) Moss, and his children, Lisa Dusenbery, Charlene Goff, Hope Ann (Mike) Ruscelli, and Rita (Danny) Chavez, seven grandkids, two great-grand kids, and numerous cousins.

Thanks to the staff at Encompass Hospice for their guidance and assistance, and a special thanks to all his friends who made an effort to keep him dancing and come see him during his last days.
