Throughout his life he was an avid fisherman and was very involved with raising exotic birds (from hummingbirds to pheasant) but with a particular fondness and expertise for breeding, raising and showing zebra finches.

Chuck also enjoyed hunting and woodworking. After relocating to the Del Web community in Huntley, he became very active in local politics and many clubs, including the Woodchucks, Anglers, Jasperwockeys and the local VFW.
