Charlie, There are good days and bad days,and this is one of those bad days to say the least.I just keep look'n up to the sky for answers, hoping that God Almighty above will send me one but I am not get'n any... I mean, you turned your life around, things were going really well for you. You had recently gotten married to the one that you had loved for so long,your step-daughters Adored you, one in particular, Stella. Everytime I walk by your house i'm waiting for you to come walking out the door and it has'nt happened yet. You know how much I valued our friendship,but you really have NO idea how many people had alot of love and respect for you. Knowing what you had going for you I just don't understand why you were ripped from our lives. Bro, I just want you to know that I miss hang'n out with you pretty much everyday.It has brought me sadness to the effect at which I did'nt think I could ever be...Bro you know I love you to which we both said to each other on plenty of occassions, But I miss you more and more everyday, More than you will ever know...

Charlie, As we go into this new year, I really still don't understand why this has happened.Everytime I think about you not being here, it's like a black cloud comes out of nowhere and hovers over me and no matter what I do I cannot get to leave.It's just been really hard for me to deal with this. By writing to you this way, this is the only way that I am able to try to cope with this. I just want you to know that I love and miss you very much bro...

Charlie, words are hard to come up with when it comes to how hard it has been for me to deal with your unexpected passing.Unless I'm keeping myself busy there is not a second that goes by that I don't think about the times that we used to hang out together.Even just seeing your picture makes me sad,as well as just thinking about you not being here.It's tearing me up inside to just write this,but regardless I still care and love my Big Brother Charlie very much and that will NEVER die.....

chuck there is no a day that goes by that we do not think of you it dosent have to be a special day because there is nodaythat goes by that missing you is not painful.and people can say whatever they want until they walked in my shoes than they can say they experienced what i have,there is not a day that goes by that does not hurt nor does it get any easier but you find ways of coping and especially now when you have a little 8 yearold who wants to know why her Dad who promised to teach her karate and bible studies and so on and so forth wants to know why god needed her best friend for his angel right now when they just startd to get close enough that she could refer to him as Dad and not just Chuckie.or my 13 year old who i just have the pleasure of being able to talk to about this and auctully being able to assure her she can confide in me that not only as her Mom but her friend as well.and as for Briana and Chuck3 im a very good lisener as well I never stopped loving you guys always will im just a phone call away stay strong. Nicholas i must say im most proud of you ; you have been the strongest thats because your just like your uncle, ladies man and all.Last but never least congradulations Rob and Mark im so happy for the two of youmay this truly be what youve been waiting for,Chuckie is watching down for the two of you itruly wish you well Id like to take part.Uncle Rob Kelsey and i have something wed like to askyou.As AlwaysMy Love Until we meet agai n keep my spot warm IloveyouBoo.

Boomer, Thanks alot. I really miss you, i want to go to the grave yard with you somtime soon. If you ever need me you can call me as well if you ever want to just talk, my dad always told me you were really speacial to him, and you were hhis best friend. Just promise me we can stay close.

Chuck Bauer3

September 17, 2008

Dad, nothing has been easy since you have passed. Im still trying to stand strong but somtimes its just too hard. I miss you like crazy, and the only thing that can suit me right now is to just hear your voice and to know you are ok. Somtimes I just want to be alone, but when i do i just want you to be with me so we can just stay close. this is too hard to believe. At times its so hard to pay attention to somthing when all i can think of is how much i miss you. Im always still waiting for you call me so we can tell each other how stupid we were to have a fight just like we did anyother time. I miss you alot and hope you are at peace. If God gave me one wish, nothing would stop me from saying i want my dad back.
I love you Dad

Charlie, It's been a month now since you were called to heaven and away from your friends and family and I know for me it has'nt gotten any easier.I miss you so much that words can't even begin to explain the emptiness that your passing has left me feeling inside.I just miss the little things that we use to do,working on the house,taking a ride,or you ordering UFC and inviting me over to hang out.This is just absolutely crazy.I never thought in a million years that I would be writing this to you.I just want to let you know that you were the Big Brother that I never had and that I love you and think about you every single day so until I see you and Shawn you both will be in my thoughts every moment of everyday.

Chuck Bauer 3

September 16, 2008

Dad, The whole you have been gone has been not easy. Nothing Can explain the way i have been. One day i accept the fact that you are gone, and the next I just feel like breaking down at just the thought of you. It wil be too hard to grow up without you. Just the thought of Not having you around when i have my first child or when i graduate from high school or college. I just still wish i could be able to spend my 17th birthday with you or at least hear from you. I still wish i had one more day with you to at least say i love you and That im sorry for anything that has ever been said or done between us. Nothing will ever be the same. You may have said somethings that i don't why they were said, but i just always had tried to get passed them. But i still always Love you. I know i still have mom to help me through this, but i always feel i can never go on without you. I never stop thinking of you. Ever hour in my life that passes i always have you in my mind and heart. I never thought i would be one of the people who loose their parents before age 18. I knew i would be over your grave one day, i just never thought it would be so soon. When my great Grandpa jacobsen died in 1970, my grandma Susie was 16 too, and she said not matter what he ever did or said she still misses him ever day as she does her mother and husband. And thats the way i will always feel. I still remember when i was sad one day and you told me "Live for life Little Chip". And i will say to you "Rest In Peace Chipper",
I love Dad, you'll always stay with me.
Your loving son
and i will never forget it.

Debra and family,
Chuckie loved you and your kids very much. He told me years ago that you were his soul mate. He really meant that. You know how special he was to my family. My childhood would not have been the same with out him. I am so glad you and my mom are able to support each other at this sad time. You both have so many wonderful memories of him to share with each other and your daughters. My Daddy died at 41. There were five of us. We never forgot what a wonderful man he was. 26 years later, my children know how wonderful their grandfather was. Your children and Little Chuck will be telling stories to their children too. We may not have them as long as we would like to, but we are truly blessed to have them in our lives for as long as we did. Our love keeps them alive in our hearts forever. Let your memories put a smile on your face daily. He loved to make you laugh…….

Alice (Krafchak) Trzcinski

September 1, 2008

Betty, Chuck, Mary, and Bobby,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. There aren't enough words to express my sympathy for you all. We were neighbors, friends, and family. I have such wonderful childhood memories of all of you. Chuckie was very special to my family. Especially to my mother. She felt like he was one of her own. She always believed in him. She misses seeing him everyday. She misses hugging him everyday. My youngest daughter, Caleigh, adored him. She told me that the day before he passed away he helped her and Grandma. She said that he was Grandma's angel. That's why when God decided he needed another angel and he took Chuckie to heaven. She really believes that. Chuckie was funny and sweet every time I saw him. I am so thankful to him for always watching out for my Mom. He had a big heart and a big smile. When I met his son I knew who he was right away. He has the same smile- from ear to ear. Keep all your memories close to your heart. He will be in every smile.

Michelle (Trala) S.

August 29, 2008

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Although I have been away from Buffalo for a long while, I remember how Chucky always knew how to make everyone laugh. He will be truly missed. God Bless you all and may you find strength through the Lord during this hard time.

Chuck was an amazing guy: a loving husband to my mother, a caring dad to me and m little sister, a great son for my grama betty and papa and it will be hard to live without him for everyone, butt all of us who knew chuck would know that he would want us to go on with our lives and remember him for the good times. which we all must set aside our differences and come together in this time of grieve, for this is hard for everyone to cope with because he was gone so soon. we will see him again and we must look forward to that but for now to m mom and the bauers may you stay strong and be warm with the memories chuck has left us with. rest in peace chuck
much love always <3

Chuck,
what can i say, he was like another father to me. He ment the world to me and my family by far he was the greatest stepdad i could dream of and now that he is gone i can never say that about any one again. he helped me and my family out so much. shure he made mistakes but doesnt everyone the thing is he made more good then bad. chuck was the kind of guy that made everyone laugh in any situation (who's going to make us laugh now) i've had so many good memories with chuck, that i will never forget. its so hard to believe that he is gone i have to remind myself every morning when i wake up and every night i fall asleep. it's going to be hard for everyone to live with out chuckie but i know my mom and family and how strong we all are and we will pull threw (just like chuck would want us to) with the great memories chuckie has left us with. Your a great guy Chuck and may you rest in peace, we will meet again but for now you will remain in my heart

We were very shocked to hear about your recent loss.
We were really looking forward to getting to know you and Chuck better. I know he he had a lot of ideas for future tattoo work.
The both of you had such a positive outlook on life despite your many misfortunes.
If you need anything or just want someone to talk to please feel free to stop in.

Debra and the whole Bauer family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I didn't know Chuckie that well but what little I did know of him and what I have heard about him he was a wonderful very funny guy and will be greatly missed.

To Debra and family

August 23, 2008

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.


I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.


There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My Uncle Chuck ment everything to me.No matter how mad or upset I was, he could always make me laugh. It's going to be hard now knowing he wont be their, but i know he would want me to go on with my life rembering the good times and try to stay positive. I loved him very much, just as all of you did, and i know things are hard now, but i know he'll watch over us and let things get better in time.I rember the last time seeing him, we goofed off like always, i told him i loved him and he told me the same, i never thought that would be the last time i seen my uncle..but i know he's watching over me and he'll take care of us. He was my "Big Crazy Chuck" and ill never forget him.


Love always,

Our Big Brother,
You were the first, you paved the way. You taught us, we learned. We got in trouble together, punished together. We cried together, laughed together. Good times, bad times- special days, any old day. It feels like noone could ever understand the empty hole you'r passing has left in our hearts. It's difficult to imagine life without you. We love you big brother, always and forever.
Mary and Bobby
