Mr. Payne,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the USMC during the Korean War and secondly for the citizens of Dedham when you served as a Law Enforcement Officer. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Bobby & Family:
I was saddened to hear of you Dad's passing.
Dad & I have been friends for many years. He was a wonderful man and always a gentleman.
May you and your family always remember the happy times you shared together.
God Bless you and your family.

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF MASSACHUSETTS MARINE CORPS LEAGUE:
Please accept our deepest regrets and condolences on the passing of Marine Veteran Charles Payne.
There is a poem written by a Marine in the Korean War.
It goes like this,
Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds circling in flight.
Do not stand by my grave and cry ...
I am not there. I did not die.
I am a Marine now and always
protecting and serving our
Supreme Father into infinity.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Semper-Fi

I'm sorry to hear of Mr. Payne's passing. My condolences to Martha, Charlie and Rob. I grew up as a neighbor to the Paynes and was always impressed with his work as a police officer. A great guy - always with a smile and a wave for us kids! And always helping my parents and others in the neighborhood, such as taking the time to plow snow from driveways and parking areas.
