Chuck was a proud graduate of Mount Olive High School, Class of 1966. Following graduation, he received a four-year baseball scholarship to Fort Valley State College, where he set numerous records and earned many honors. Among his most notable achievements were being named Most Outstanding College Athlete in America and his induction into the Inaugural Class of the Phenix City Sports Hall of Fame. After college, Chuck enjoyed a successful 30-year career at Mead Coated Board, where he was known for his strong work ethic and steady leadership.
Chuck had a passion for golf and a lifelong love for baseball. He enjoyed playing the bass guitar, which he taught himself, singing in the choir, watching classic cowboy shows, and, most of all, spending time with his children and grandchildren.

To the Family and Friends of Chuck, I worked at Mahrt Mill for 27 years. Any callouts, outages or shut downs that I was on, Chuck always lead me in the correct and safe ways to accomplish all of the maintenance tasks before me correctly, safely and successfully!👌🏽
May you rest in peace my friend. Will always remember you. I love you and God loves you more. Keeping your family in our prayers.
My deepest heartfelt condolences to the Goshay family. Chuck will forever have a special place with me. I will always be grateful for his generosity, kindness, and the way he cared about others. I will never forget as little boy how he treated me like a son. The way he taught me the game of baseball at the young age of nine. The game that to this day, I still love and continue to play. The way he challenged and inspired me to be my best. The way he still called me by my nickname 40 years later.
RIP classmate
