Born in Worcester to Francis and Jennie (Javery) Chalon, Chuckie's vibrant spirit was evident in his passions. He found joy in music, often listening through his radio and earphones. His love for gadgets, toys, and games reflected his youthful heart. Chuckie also cherished simple pleasures like visiting McDonald's and enjoying Dunkin' Donuts munchkins, not to mention his daily treat of O’Doul's and peanut butter cups.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the caretakers at the Holy Trinity Nursing & Rehab Center for their compassionate care during Chuckie's time there. In remembering him, let us carry forward his joyful spirit and the mantra he embraced—“I like you!”.  He had the longest attendance record at the Seven Hills Adult Day Heath Program for 22 years he attended.
