Chuck died May 22, 2017, at the age of 82 in Springdale, Ark. While at Princeton, he majored in sociology, ate at Cottage, and played football and track. His senior-year roommates were Bill Hambrecht, Tal Kemper, and John Spear.

Upon graduation Chuck joined Warner and Swasey Co., where he remained for more than 40 years, rising to district manager.

Also in 1957 he married Marge Wagner. They were blessed with three sons — all respectful men who own successful businesses. Throughout the years, the Sharps moved nine times.

The class sends its condolences to Marge; sons Charles, Steven, and Ronald; and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
