Born in Cadiz, Ohio March 10, 1933, to Harry D. and Mary E. Love Hazelrigg. Chuck pursued his schooling in the Buckeye state. He was personally recruited by famed football great Woody Hayes, then coach at Miami University of Ohio, legendary even before taking charge of the gridiron at Ohio State. When Hayes made the change, Chuck played football under coach Ara Parseghian, who later became one of the best coaches at Notre Dame.
The team at Miami University valued Chuck for more than his ability to snap the football as center; the coach acknowledged that Chuck’s scholastic ability played an important role in keeping the team average up. Chuck had a full-ride scholarship to the University located in Oxford, Ohio. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude with a B.S. in Business. He and Luanna were married in January of the senior year in college.
After a stint in the Air Force where he was stationed in Japan, Chuck pursued a 33-year career in banking, working his way up the ropes to become President and Chief Operating Officer at United Banks of Colorado in 1987.
In the late 1960's he had coordinated the launch of MasterCard for an earlier employer, making US National Bank the premier bank card system in the Rocky Mountains.
After negotiating the merger of United Banks of Colorado with Norwest Banks in 1991, his career would come to a sudden end as a result of the new arrangement.
Coincidentally, just days before his departure, the Father’s Day Massacre took place at United Bank of Denver when four bank guards were shot to death in the underground cash vault. A former bank guard, James W. King, was tried and acquitted of the crime.
He had moved to Evergreen in 1971. He and Luanne were one of three couples that founded Bootstraps in 1979, to provide interest-free student loans to graduates of Evergreen High School (the organization later merged with Evergreen Scholarship).
While Luanne maintained a high profile in volunteer activities in Evergreen, Chuck’s involvement in nonprofits was notably centered around the Denver scene, including the Denver Museum of Natural History, later renamed The Denver Museum of Nature and Science. He was Chairman of the Board for 3 years, during which time the museum hired its first female president. Chuck had a reputation for recognizing the talents of women, giving them equal consideration with men in hiring practices. He chaired the Space Odyssey and West Side Expansion Campaign, raising $35 million for the museum. His greatest accomplishment, however, was rewriting the 100-year-old bylaws of the museum and creating a more contemporary system of governance. He served on the Board of Trustees for 25 years.
He also served on numerous boards including Junior Achievement of Metro Denver, Colorado Outward Bound School and the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Colorado. In the 1980's Chuck and Luanne co-chaired the effort to raise $2.5 million to rebuild Tomahawk Ranch, the Girl Scout camp in Deer Creek. He prided himself on being a card-carrying Girl Scout for years. He also served on the advisory committee for the construction project of Evergreen Ambulance Service when it built an ambulance facility.
Shortly after the formation of the Mountain Area Land Trust (MALT) in 1991, Chuck stepped in to fill the shoes of founding member Dave Scruby, who’d served as Treasurer. He and Linda Kirkpatrick co-chaired MALT’s first public project – the successful effort to Save Noble Meadow in 1994 – assembling $2.3 million in five months' time. The community-wide campaign put some permanency to protecting nearly 400 acres from imminent development and provided another 10 acres of land for the ball fields and recreation center at Buchanan Park.
Travel and outdoor adventure were ways to enjoy nature, share time with family and friends, engaged with people in cultures around the world. He and Luanne traveled to all seven continents after a life-changing trek to Nepal in 1981.
While his achievements are notable, Chuck will be remembered as a capable, humble, and kind man who loved his family deeply and engaged passionately with everyone he met. He was a mentor and leader to family members, friends, colleagues, employees, and acquaintances.
He passed away November 17, 2016, after an extended illness with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
He is survived by his wife of 62 years, brother James of Jackson, Ohio; daughters Lynn (Steve), Nancy, and Amy (Gregg); and four granddaughters.
A memorial service was held Friday, December 2, at 2:00 p.m. at Montview Blvd. Presbyterian Church, 1980 Dahlia, Denver, CO.
Gifts in Chuck’s memory may be made to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science or Cure PSP.
