He was honorably discharged from his duties with the rank of Specialist 5.

Chick worked as a Nurse’s Aide at the former Meadowbrook Manor in Hartford, Ohio. In addition, he did home health care while he lived in Florida.

In his spare time, Chick enjoyed gardening, cooking, camping, fishing, tending to his fish tanks, as well as singing & dancing. However, spending time with his family meant the most to him.
