He had been a resident of the Gilmanton, Sanbornton and Northfield areas for most of his life. Chuck spent most of his career as a welder and tool maker, beginning at Baron Machine and spending the last 31 years at Scotia Technology before he retired so he could spend more time with his dear Janis.
