Reflections for Corporal Charles William Hill
Wish I could've been there for you, brother.

Charlie, I still have vivid memories of when You, Kuchi, and I were working out in the APD weight room two days before your death, and you telling us about skiing in Killington, VT, with your son.
I will never get over that feeling when the "officer down" call went out, and then being notified of your death after shift. All I could think of was of your family.
March 22nd and May 15 are two days that these memories come back most.
RIP Charlie.

Charlie: It is hard to believe that it has been 23 years today. I remember it as if it was yesterday. You are missed. It was an honor to know you.

30 Years ago today our first son was born. You would be so proud of him! You were such a great dad, I think you were more a kid than him sometimes :)

When I learned about this tragedy, I just went numb. Chuck and i lived next door to each other in North Babylon, New York. I knew his parents, his sister, Dorothy,
and his girlfriend, Ginny, who would later become his wife.I watched as they fell in love with each other. I was in their wedding party in 1971. I miss you Chuck. No passage of time heals this wound.
I never met your sons, but, I know how very proud they must be of their father.
To Ginny- I want you to know that I think of your late husband and wish that
I could change the tragic events of that day. Ray Richardson
