Guidotti (nee Balducci), Chuck was a longtime resident of Haddon Heights until his wife's passing in 2022. Chuck served the City of Camden as a police officer for 27 years until his retirement.
A devout Catholic, Chuck was a longtime parishioner of St. Rose of Lima Church in Haddon Heights where he served as head usher for many years. He was also a 3rd degree member of the Knights of Columbus Santa Maria Council No. 1443 in Haddon Township and a 4th degree member of Bishop Eustace General Assembly.
