Chuck was born September 6, 1929 and was a member of St. Gabriel Parish for 60 years. The most important thing in his life was his Family. His Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren affectionately called him "Popo" and were his pride and joy. He worked at Trans World Airlines and retired after 36 years of service. This gave him opportunities to travel with family and close friends throughout the United States and overseas but mostly Las Vegas! He loved the Casino, golfing, hanging out at Carlitos, meeting friends for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and of course his cigars. Chuck had no enemies, always making new friends with his contagious smile and laugh. He lived his life to the fullest, strong willed, ornery and a tease. He will be sadly missed, always loved and never forgotten.

Chuck was preceded in death by his wife, Genevieve, and son, Joseph. Chuck was survived by daughter and son-in-law, Carol and John DiSalvo; son and daughter-in-law, Ben and Sheila Cuda; daughter-in-law, Annita Cuda; grandchildren, Joanna Cuda and Amber White, Andrea and Brad Nelson, Deanna DiSalvo, Chuck and Annamarie Cuda, Kristi Cuda, Gina and Sal LoPorto, Jeni and Tim Briley; great-grandchildren, Vincie Jo Nelson, Charlie Nelson, Joey Nelson, Bennie Cuda, Johnny Cuda and Alena LoPorto.
