They worked together to establish a warm and welcoming environment for all. He treasured and valued his family by always being active and present in family life. You could always find him working and improving their home. His favorite spot and where everyone could find him was in the backyard cooking on his grill and listening to music. He loved making people laugh by telling his corny jokes, throwing fireworks into the fire pit when no one was looking and he was always laughing and grinning from ear to ear.

Friends and family were always welcome into their home by Chas with a big inviting smile and making sure he made everyone feel at home. He loved food and cooking, music, playing his guitar, Jimi Hendrix, having a drink, family camping trips to Lake McConaughy in Nebraska, going to the shooting range, fishing any lake he could find and traveling to numerous places with family and friends.
