Chuck spent his summers with his brothers, friends and family at their family’s Cottage in Muskoka with waterskiing in Mud Bay. Chuck prided himself on being the only brother that could barefoot. It was here where his love for the outdoors started and why moving west to Cochrane was a perfect fit for him and his family.
