Family brought him back to the Dover area in the 1980's where he owned and operated a bar, My Brother's Place, with his brother Robert. It wasn't a fancy establishment, but a perfect place for a burger and beer after work. It was here where he met his second wife, Angel, and also many close friends. Chuck retired to Middleton, NH on Sunrise Lake with Angel. Together, they created a happy place where they both enjoyed entertaining family and friends. Chuck found great joy riding his motorcycle, telling "big fish" stories, and coin collecting. He was a man who lived by his own rules and danced to the beat of his own drummer. He was a lover of American history, politics, westerns, crossword puzzles, and a strong drink. His unique style, warmth, and generous spirit will be greatly missed by his friends and family. Chuck is survived by his children Shannon (Brock) Vitas and her husband Eli of Rochester, NH; Sean Brock of Middleton NH; Dennis and his wife Lisa Sanborn of Springfield VT; Cindy Sanborn and partner Gary Greenaway of Pittsfield, Maine; and Linda Sanborn and husband Eric Scheuer of Durham, NH.
