He is survived by his longtime companion, Gina Paulucci; his daughter, Lynda Dunnell (Greg) of Boulder, CO; his grandchildren, Anna and Chad as well as several relatives in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. Chuck had a life-long commitment to service of country and to the advancement of the science of polygraphy. As a young man, he proudly served in the United States Marine Corps. Following this, he graduated from Michigan State University with a B.S. in Law Enforcement and Police Administration. He then received training in polygraphy and worked as a practitioner and instructor in that area. Chuck then joined the Central Intelligence Agency, serving as a polygraphist and security officer. Following this, he served for ten years as a special agent and law enforcement instructor in the FBI. After his career in public service, Chuck resumed private practice as a polygraphist and private investigator. He also became an educator in polygraphy and interviewing techniques. Ultimately, Chuck was a teacher and mentor to many law enforcement personnel, providing training to representatives of almost 100 local, national and international law enforcement agencies.

Throughout his multi-faceted professional career, Chuck was committed to making the world safer, especially for victims of abuse and those most vulnerable. Personally, Chuck was a man of unwavering integrity and loyalty; a devoted father and grandfather; and a loving and unselfish partner to Gina. He was an enthusiastic outdoorsman spending many a joyous day improving the woods surrounding his home with his chain saw, chipper and gator, and in recent years he became an accomplished nature photographer.
