Chuck was a multi-sport athlete at GF Central, participating in Boys’ Golf and Boys’ Hockey.  He was a member of the three state championship teams in 1962, 1963, and 1964. He earned seven letters during his time at Central, three in golf and four in hockey. In 1964, he set the school scoring record. After graduation, Chuck received a full hockey scholarship to the University of Minnesota, where he played from 1964-1968.

Chuck said what set GF Central apart from all other schools was their coach, Serge Gambucci. His favorite memory is playing in and winning state championships and the friendships that still continue today.

Chuck is retired and currently living in West Des Moines, Iowa. He and his wife Jane have two amazing sons and daughter in-laws and five wonderful grandchildren who complete their lives.
