He was born March 30, 1949, in Warren, to Charles F. Foust Sr. and Pearl Eddy Foust.

In his younger years, he was a champion barrel racer with his palomino. His love of “horsepower” led to a never-ending collection of Corvettes, Harley Davidson motorcycles and John Deere tractors.

He loved to race at Sunset Dragway for many years.

He was a 1967 graduate of Mathews High School in Vienna.

He decided to start his own business in 1968 with a $500 trencher. He went on to become one of the largest and most trusted concrete contractors in Youngstown.

He was married to Margie Moorehead Morris on Aug. 31, 2000, in Vienna, by Judge Ronald J. Rice, a lifetime friend. Chuck and Margie were a “couple of gypsies” going between their home in Girard to the farm in Venus, Pa. They also made many trips to their camp in Benezette, Pa., and spent the winter months in their home in Bushnell, Florida.

He enjoyed building a job, farming, riding his Harley and cooking. He hunted all over the United States and Canada. He coached Little League baseball for 12 years. He was a member of the Cortland Masonic Lodge #529, the Scottish Rite, Operating Engineers Local 66, Fryburg Sportsman Club and Sinnemahoning Sportsman Club.
