Chuck Herron:  

After living most of my life in Burbank and Glendale, (where he was born) Chuck and his wife Joni (from New Milford, Connecticut) moved to Germantown, Tennessee in 2018. After several years of considering this major move, 2018 was the year we put all the pieces together and actually did it.. We sold our beautiful Glendale home for a "California" price and headed somewhere east In Tennessee we found a beautiful neighborhood with wonderful neighbors and a home that is incredible. It's the typical story, sell in California and get twice the home for half the price somewhere out of state. After several years of consideration and looking at many properties in several states we selected Germantown, which is in western TN. Germantown is a suburb of Memphis, TN and is only about a 1/2 hour drive from either downtown or "Graceland" but worlds apart from Memphis proper. We have friends there and while crisscrossing the country for the last 12 years on road trips between California and the east coast we stayed with them on several of the trips. My wife, Joni, fell in love with the well kept traditional homes, the tree lined streets and the generally friendly people. A wonderful relatively small community (population about 40,000) that is much like it felt in Burbank many years ago when Burbank seemed like a family town. Germantown has their own Police and Fire Departments and a highly rated financially sound City government that is rated the best in the state of Tennessee. The property values continue to grow because of the exceptional Germantown Municipal School district. Families that are looking for a great public education for their children and an up scale neighborhood look to Germantown as a place to buy and live. If they want private schools there are several really good ones in the area. It has been one of the best things we have ever done..................a brand new exciting adventure at this late stage of life that we should have done years earlier. Chuck's schools include John Burroughs High School, where he admits he kept a low bashful profile. Chuck later attended Pasadena City College and LA Valley College (Business Management). Chuck retired in 2006 after a very fulfilling career with the City of Burbank, Water and Power Department. After coming up through the ranks Chuck retired as the Electric Distribution Manager with a total of over 38 plus years of service to the Burbank community. Between Joni and Chuck they have a blended family of 3 sons (Jim Gerow, Wayne Herron and Michael Herron) and 8 Grandchildre...Expand for more
