Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Today would have been your 38th birthday, unfortunately you are not here to celebrate it. Know that you are loved and missed as much now as you were 5 years ago. We are going to go ride go carts and play putt-putt tomorrow and will be thinking of you. Wish you could be there other than just in spirit. Gone, but not forgotten.

bro, it has been a while. I had a link to this page but my laptop crashed.. anyway, I am sure you know the hole your absence has left. We have all carried on, but life without you is not the same. Dad and I are attending the HCPD citizens police academy and I must say, seeing the inside helps me understand why you did the things you did. The respect the job requires and how each officer has one another's back is what made this country. It is a privelege to get to participate. We still miss you and think of and talk about you often. Cannot wait to see you again! We all love you bro!

My thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones and friends on this anniversary of your EOW. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line. You will never be forgotten.

5 years, I cannot believe it has been 5 years. You are missed as much now as you were then. Maybe even more. As I sit and think about everything that has gone on in the last 5 years, I am amazed. We did find a way to go on. Life, although not the same, is good. And although thinking of you still hurts and still brings tears to my eyes, it is easier to remember how much fun we used to have. Jay reminds me sooo much of you, sometimes I swear he is channeling you. He has a little senister laugh that reminds me of you. It makes me smile when he is acting silly and being "Chuck" like. We have decided this year to remember you by doing something that you would like to do. We are going to ride go carts and play putt-putt. Oh, if I had a dime for every round of putt-putt we have played or go cart we have raced... It will be bittersweet, but I know you would be like..."ok, enough with the tears already, go have some fun!" So, we will be, in memory of you! Love ya, Cuz!

Chuck,

I just wanted to visit you before your anniversary. Ang and I are leaving for our trip with my dad and won't be here on the day. I will think of you while we are gone and know that I am carrying the item with me to remind me of you.

Take care man.

Chuck,

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas. I was thinking of you today. I had to buy a new key chain, and as I was replacing the keys, I remembered where I got the shell casing on my keyring. I wish I did not have it. Have a good Christmas, and tell the others hey for me.

Chuck,

Christy and I heard about your dad. We called Suzan and left a message, I guess no one was home. Of course we offer anything to her and Kathalee. I know you and your dad will have a joyous reunion. I miss you.

Happy Belated Birthday! I owe one to your sister too! Life has been a crazy whirlwind. I cannot believe it has been 12 years since I have had the honor of knowing you and your family! I received an Easter card from you mom yesterday and it reminded me that I haven't seen the family since the Candlelight Vigil in February. You are missed and thought of daily!

Missing you on you birthday and wishing you were here to celebrate. I cannot believe that you would be 37 today. It seems like just yesterday that you were taken, yet it seems so long ago. You are as much today as you were then.

Love ya!

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

Chuck,

Hey man, I wanted to write tonight and let you know that I was planning on bieng there tonight, but something came up and there was just no way for me to make it in time. I just got home a little while ago, and thankfully it is not midnight yet! Valentine and I talked about you today, and had a special "Chuck Haist" meal. I think you know what I mean!!! Hard to believe it's been four years. Take care man, we all miss you.

Chuck, I just left a message but I think I hit the reset button instead of posting it...so you may get a double dose of my rambling (I like to think excessive wit and intelligence but whatever). Well, it has been 4 years...hard to believe sometimes. I think I said something profound in my other message (let's just assume anyway) but I can't remember. Anyway, my point is that I was thinking of you. Andy is also....he really misses you!

Chuck -

I can't believe it has been four years ago today that I received the news... There has not been a time that I have driven by the Taco Bell and thought of you. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. We have so many new officers around here now, but many of them still hear the stories of you from those closest to you. Your presence is still missed here, but I know you're up there watching down on all of us!

without you and the terrible pain within their hearts. God, wrap your loving arms around them and help them with their grief and let them feel your presence .
Your sacrifice has not been forgotten.

4 years! Unbelievable! So many things have taken place in your absence. It is so hard to believe that so much time has passed. It seems like ages ago, yet it seems like yesterday. Looking at your smile on this page always breaks my heart. To see you so full of life in that picture, and yet know that you are no longer here. We are gathering tonight at the Taco Bell where you had your accident to remember your life and once again show our support to each other. You touched so many lives in your short time here on earth, and your light continues to shine even still today. I love you and miss you daily, gone but NEVER forgotten. Heros live forever!

It has been a long time since I popped in to say hi. Wow, it is coming up on 4 years and it is still so hard to believe. You are still thought of daily and missed very much!! I went to Kat's New Years Day and got to see your mom! I hadn't seen her since my wedding and it was wonderful to see her! She is doing so much better and the family is thriving although your absence is always noticeable. I brought my new bundle of joy, Charley, and shared her with your mom and she was in heaven! Gosh, it was just so great to see her in better spirits! Keep heaven laughing!!

Hey Bro, I miss you and think of you daily. We made it through another Holiday season without and now here we are faced with another year to face without your bright, infecious smile! Things will never be the same without. And yet somehow life is going on - and moving quite fast I might add. NYE, we were out on our way to out - we had hired Mapp Transportation and Jimmy was driving. We got to talking about you and how it still doesn't seem right not to have you here. Man what an understatment. No matter what changes about your sisters life - thought this year has been a good one for me - that hole in my heart remains. 2008 brought many changes. H having her first child and R getting engaged and married and your sister too! And to think Jan 6 will be L's 15 bday and yet they are still not a part of our lives. We miss not having your girls a part of our lives. I hope one day they will come looking for us and learn. I pray that you and uncle Tom are having fun up there. I truly appreciate you and cherish every moment we got to share on this earth. Your my big bro and you always will be. Live, Love, Laugh!

Chuck,

Hey, I wanted to get by here before Christmas, but could not make it happen. I was just looking through my box, and was thinking about you and Wilbur and Jimmy, and James. I will stop by their pages as well. They gave me Evening Watch North so thats good. We start up on 12 January this year. I think I will drive up to the spot and see what's there. I'll save you a seat. Take care bud.
