He loved to go fishing in the Hi Sierra's and went their yearly and also to Lake Tahoe where his Uncle lives. He loved the outdoors. Here is a note from Chuck's mother: My son was born in Detroit Mich. When he was 5 yrs. old we moved to California. We enjoyed the weather and nice atomsophere of Burbank. Chuck began school and when the summer holidays came, we always went to the High Sierras to spend time fishing and camping. Our family had always been in the building business and Chuck learned the trade and really enjoyed it. Later they closed the business. Then Chuck was in the Service for two years. When he returned he was thankful to be back in the USA. He married and had two sons. Later they were divorced. Life goes on. Later we were all interested in antiques. Chuck studied about antiques and it later became his vocation. His last shop was in La Crescenta and was an enjoyable place to visit. Later he went to swap meets and did very well. Chuck met his future wife, Vanessa in the business. I wish I could say "and they lived happily ever after" His Mom - |
