I always watched him on Wheel of Fortune with Susan Stafford. After he left, I never watched I think. I also loved him on Love Connection, Greed and Lingo.

I remember Chuck selling his fishing lures on QVC. He seemed so down to earth, friendly and a really nice man.

May he RIP.

Does anyone remember him on QVC? I bought a National Geographic watch from him after seeing him on QVC.

I don't remember who was with him but it was at the same time Bob Bowersox worked for QVC ... rest in peace, Chuck
