Chuck is also survived by his brothers, Jackie Mary Symons, and David Meri Symons. He was preceded in death by his parents and mother-in-law Alvira Wilcox.
He was totally devoted to his family. His life revolved around them and he was intertwined within theirs. From his wife and kids to his grandchildren they were his life and HE was theirs.
