Born in Orange, Texas, on September 21, 1961, he was the son of Charles Petry, Sr. and the late Jerry (Glawson) Petry. Chuck worked at OCARC and retired after many loyal years. He had a fascination with eagles, collected Elvis memorabilia, and loved Christmas and getting everything decorated for that time of year. Chuck enjoyed watching old sitcoms like M.A.S.H., The Andy Griffith Show and Gunsmoke and liked to vacation in Colorado with his family. He always had a smile on his face and will be dearly missed by many.
