He lived in many parts of our country throughout his lifetime, but always called Canonsburg home.

Campbell, of Houston; sister, Kathleen A. Wiley, of Norwell, Mass., and her daughter, Beth A. Sullivan, husband Timothy, and their children, Ryan, Christian, and Avalyn Sullivan, of Hingham, Mass..
He loved watching the children play.
Chuck was an amazing and loving person who always enjoyed celebrating life, spending time with his family, and bringing a smile to everyone’s face.
He graduated from Canon McMillan High School in 1962, and retained lifelong relationships with many of his classmates.
He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he graduated from Penn Commercial College. He enjoyed a long career in retail where he was a buyer for several large retailers. Later in his career, he worked with retail liquidation companies, which afforded him the opportunity to travel and live in many different places throughout North America.
Chuck was an avid Pittsburgh sports fan, and especially loved the Steelers and Pirates.
In his leisure time he enjoyed fishing and golf. He always looked forward to an annual fishing trip to Canada with his brother, Jack. It was always debated as to who caught the largest fish. He golfed whenever he could and described one of his fondest memories as having the honor of playing at Pebble Beach. His proudest golfing achievement was a hole-in-one during one of his golf outings.
Chuck always had the brightest smile in the room, he loved to tell a great story and will be greatly missed by his family, especially during the holiday season.
