He worked at Cargill for 17 years and recently was promoted to health, safety and environment senior director of North America. Chuck was very passionate about his work and the people he worked with.
Chuck loved traveling, farming and doing things for everyone else with wife, Chris, at his side. He also enjoyed hunting a variety of North American big game. He was a father to everyone, especially his own. The most important thing to Chuck was pushing his children to excel and be independent and responsible adults.
