He worked as a territory district manager for Rain Soft, and Tina was a marketing manager for a dealership in Victor, New York.

God brought them together, and their partnership was filled with love, faith, and joy. Chuck was also a longtime and devoted father and actively involved in his 2 children Jonathan and Brooke. Chuck faced a long illness with strength and grace, and after five years, he passed away peacefully with Tina by his side.
