Chuck passed last Friday in Arizona after a long illness. He was 60.

In the early 1970s, he hosted Underground -- a nightly counterculture news and interview show -- on WSNS-TV 44. The show was soon syndicated to other markets.

When Underground ended, he became an investigative reporter for NBC, where he won seven Emmy Awards.

He was forced to retire because of his health.
