Chuck was born February 4, 1936 in Monument, Pennsylvania.  He was the son of Mabel Bartley Packer and Arthur Packer.  Chuck was a member of the Air Force Military Police, stationed in Morocco, at the close of the Korean War.  He was employed by Boeing as a guard at our nation's missile bases in the Central and NW States.  Chuck met Wanda Harrelson Engeman while stationed as a guard in Sedalia, Missouri.  They met while bowling, which was one of his passions.  Chuck and Wanda were married February 20, 1982.  After marriage they lived in various states in the NW through employment with Boeing.  After Chuck's retirement from Boeing, they resettled to Lee's Summit, Missouri, to be close to Wanda's children and grandchildren.  His step-children were Mark, Myron and Meldan Engeman.  Chuck and Wanda were married 40 years until Wanda's passing.  Chuck was the father of three children from his first marriage, Gary, Barbara, and Charles, Jr.

Chuck and Wanda enjoyed traveling before and after retirement.  Chuck enjoyed bowling, attending Royals baseball games, and watching televised baseball games.  But most of all, he enjoyed spending time with family.
