Chuck was a salesman for the Coca-Cola Bottling Company for 20 years. Following his love of cooking, he opened Chuck's Bar-B-Que and ran the business for a number of years. He also worked in the granite industry for 30 years and retired from Eagle Granite Company.

A born athlete, Chuck always played sports and played them all well. He instilled that love in his sons and was their coach for many years. Chuck loved to coon hunt and he would always take his boys along with his coon-hunting buddies, Joel and Joey Bond, James McCannon and Richard Grimes. He also loved going to the mountains and to the beach, and watching the Georgia Bulldogs.
