As a young man Chuck was stationed during WWII at a submarine base in Ko d iak, Alaska. He was a sergeant in the Army. He fell in love with Alask a a nd travelled there often during his later years. He had many storie s to t ell about his Army days and how cold it was at the Army base.
He met his sweetheart, Adele Murdock in Salt Lake City. They were marri e d in the Salt Lake Temple in 1945. They spent their early years in Log a n and settled in the Canyon Rim area where they welcomed the additio n o f their children Kim and Shane.
