Chuck was born on August 31, 1962, in Grants, New Mexico, the son of the late Charles N. Sr. and Margaret (nee Rainer) Pike. Charles married the former Tina M. Woolson on September 3, 2001 while on a Princess Cruise in the Bahamas. He worked for Sumitomo Rubber in Tonawanda for 23 years. Chuck loved motorsports, ranging from NASCAR to riding his ATV or snowmobile through Byrn Cliff in Varysburg, NY and Old Forge, NY and Tall Pines in Pennsylvania. He was a die hard Buffalo Bills fan, always rooting for his team. Chuck would light up the room while always offering a joke and being the jokester. He loved to spend time with his family, while making memories that will last forever. He loved his dogs, preferably Boston's and Bullies, and would love to go to the dog shows.
