Chuck lived most of his life on the Coast and in Roberts Creek. He was a founding member of the Roberts Creek Volunteer Fire Department, served on the Roberts Creek Community Association and was named “Mr. Roberts Creek” in the mid ‘80s.

Chuck moved back to Gibsons after his wife passed and resided at Gibsons Garden Inn, then Christenson Village. He loved both places and was treated with compassion, dignity and respect. Special thanks for being there for our Dad.
Heartfelt thanks to the nurses, staff and caregivers at St. Mary’s Hospital, whose kindness and caring helped Chuck die with dignity. Thanks to Dr. B. Myhill-Jones for taking the time to keep the family informed.
