He is survived by his son, Randall Williams; stepchildren, Joshua Styles (Ivy Johnson) and Jessica Styles (Ruik Sicignano); and granddaughter, Hayden.

Chuck was predeceased by his parents, Martha Sattig Williams and Carl Williams; his sister, Martha Ann Lorton; and his brothers, Ronald (Janette Vincent) Williams and Russell (Ruth Alcorn) Williams.

Chuck was born and raised in Woodbridge and graduated from Amity High School in 1971. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1972 to 1978 on the USS Sherman. After his discharge from the Navy, he worked for the New Haven Register, then for the U.S. Postal Service, from which he retired.
