Devoted husband and best friend of Margaret “Carol” Talanian (Floren) for 57 years. Loving brother of Virginia Childs of Bourne and the late Alice Talanian (Milton) and Ralph Talanian (Milton).

Chuck grew up in Dorchester, and served in the Army during the Korean Conflict. He lived in Braintree for many years while raising his family. He worked in the real estate and insurance industry, and cofounded Bel-Air Real Estate and Insurance in Weymouth. He loved life and lived it to the fullest, embracing every day. He truly loved people, the art of making a great deal, Florida, winning at gin, and preparing a great shish kebab for his clan. He also loved to play golf and tennis, and was an original member of the Weymouth Tennis Club. Family was his passion and his legacy. He always offered his heartfelt advice and left his mark on everyone he met. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for anybody. There was no one better, Dad, you were the best.
