Then, proudly, at 52 years old, received his Bachelor's degree from (at the time) Roger Williams College in Mechanical Engineering. He retired from Raytheon in 1990.  After retiring, his love of driving began when he volunteered for Meals on Wheels (his absolute favorite). This was followed by delivering part-time for East Bay Newspapers and LaCava Auto Parts. He was a member on Knights of Columbus Council #4673 since 1963.

Chuck had a love-hate relationship (mostly love) with his Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins and The Patriots. His favorite pass time was golf and playing horseshoes with the guys at the Knights of Columbus.  His true passion was bowling at Dudek's Bowling Lanes in Warren, RI.
Chuck was a great self-taught carpenter in his own right. He loved vacation cruises with his beloved wife. His with his love of driving there were many vacations by car or pulling a camper. The ongoing funny story has to be him driving to Stop and Shop for A TOMATO. He would do anything for anyone who asked. He was the sweetest man and will be missed by many, especially his beloved wife and daughters. Sitting on the patio will never be the same.
