He was the son of Ida Blubaugh and Conrad Sloan Sr. To differentiate from his father, he was referred to as "Sonny" by his family and childhood friends and as "Chuck" by those he met in later life. Chuck graduated from High School in the spring of 1952 and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force the following December. He honorably served for 22 years and was a thrice recipient of the Air Force Commendation Medal. Following his Air Force retirement, he served 20 years as a sworn officer with the U.S. Capitol Police.

Chuck married his high school sweetheart, Peggy J. Wade, in 1954 and they had four children during their military travels. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a grandson Staff Sergeant Christopher Swanson who was killed in action while serving in Iraq. Surviving him are his loving and devoted wife Peggy; daughter Karen, daughter Kelly and husband Gary; son Kevin and wife Cindy; daughter Kristi and husband Danny; siblings Robert, Larry, Phil, Sandra and their spouses, as well as 12 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

AN ASIDE: From the time we first met when stationed together in 1960 thru 1966, the lives of Chuck and Peggy seemed intertwined with that of my family. We met again on our next nearby assignments in Germany and then again as U.S. Capitol Police officers in the latter 1970s. By happenstance, my wife and I bought a house just a few blocks from theirs, and I van-pooled with Chuck for several years. He and Peggy were very active in their church which led to my wife joining and becoming active as well. Even after the death of my wife and our police retirements, Chuck and Peggy continued to be close and lasting friends.
