Chuckie was known for his body-building skills while in the military and college. He loved to preach and sing in churches, at special events and karaoke nights. That is where he found his voice and his love to sing, especially gospel and Louis Armstrong songs. Chuckie could fix anything. He was a handyman for many in the Wilmington area. He truly enjoyed his job at the hardware store where his co-workers became his family.  Charles was baptized at an early age. He loved the Lord and became an ordained minister.
