Born on April 7, 1940, in Shreveport, LA, he was the son of the late C.R. Johnson and the late Clara Johnson. Chuck was a 1963 graduate of Florida State University and began his career as a co-op with Martin Marietta. He worked at various company facilities in Orlando and Ocala, Florida, The Dalles, Oregon, Goldendale, Washington and Baltimore, MD. After 35 years and increasingly more responsible positions, Chuck retired from Martin in 1997.
