Chuck was an avid sailor and the family spent many hours together on Long Island Sound when the kids were young. He loved classical music of all kinds and almost always had music playing in the background of everyday life.  He especially loved singing in choirs and making beautiful music with great directors and performers. Chuck played chess with any willing partner and took great delight in sharing the game with younger generations.
