In December 1951, he joined the Painter’s Union in Wichita. In April of 1952 he traveled to Fairbanks, Alaska to work for his brother-in-law and sister in their painting business until September 1952, until he got a call from Uncle Sam that his serviced were needed in the U.S. Army.
He was united in marriage to Colleen Kulander on October 26, 1952 at the First Methodist Chapel in Wichita, Kansas.
He served in the U.S. Army from May 1953 to May 1955. In 1958 he returned to Alaska where he and his wife Colleen resided in Fairbanks for eight years. After returning to Kansas he started his own painting business and continued with that for 44 years.

He loved them all dearly. He was preceded in death by his mother and a sister Eleanor Shaw.
Chuck, as everyone knew him was an avid KU fan and enjoyed attending or watching them on T.V., all the football and basketball games.
