He graduated from Marysville High School in Marysville, MI. Right after high school Chuck joined the United States Air Force where he traveled to 32 different countries.

Sorry for you loss. Chuck and his family were great neighbors as we were growing up in Kendel Heights. My thoughts and prayers are with all.
We never got to personally meet Chuck, but we know his time with Judy and his family was very special. So sorry he left this earth but he is in heaven and will be missed by so many.
Chuck was man who served both his country and community–he was a man of honor–we will pray for his eternal rest.
Our entire family owes a debt of gratitude to Chuck, and hopefully we let him know that during his lifetime. When our boys were young and had their early morning paper routes, Chuck as a police officer always watched out for them. We always felt safe sending the boys out, knowing Chuck was keeping an eye on our boys and on Ashland. Thank you, Chuck.
Judy I’m so very sorry. Thinking of you and the family. Thoughts and prayers

Thanks to all of you for your kindness, prayers and messages of support. The Green-King family is honored by, and thankful for the many wonderful ways dad’s life touched your own. Blessed be, Kathy, Jeff, Rebekah (Shane) and Alyssa.
