Chuck had a passion for collecting, antiquing, golfing, hunting, fishing, and riding motorcycles. He was a pie-making fool for the Pink House. He was always ready for a road trip, a ride on the motorcycle, or a game of dominoes.

Chuck is survived by his children, Tracy Mosz, Todd Grubbs, Lisa Rioux and her husband, Chris, and Scott Grubbs and his wife, Casey; his sister, Linda Leonard and her husband, Johnny; his grandchildren, Blaine Wilson, Chris Mosz, Nicole Phelps, Bailey Grubbs, Jason Rioux, Tanner Grubbs, and Katy Grubbs; and his great-grandchildren, Raelynn Chandler, Maverick Phelps, and Hudson Phelps.

Chuck will be remembered for his belly laugh, spontaneity, protective nature, and strong work ethic. His journey will continue in a better place.
