Richard L. Chartier

Worked with Dick at Public Safety for a few years, the ultimate professional and family man!

Thanks for all you did Dick. It looks like you had a good life...you deserved all of it!

Dick was a wonderful man and a tribute to the Michigan State Police. His humor was second only to his abilities to get the job done. He left his mark, and a good one, wherever he went. Dick was very special.

Two words fit Dick, “ nice guy”. A great partner for 5 years

Sympathy to all the family members. We were fellow Canine Handlers in the MSP. We were also Detective Sergeants together at the Pontiac Post.

Sending love & prayers to your family! From the Sheffields

Finest state trooper I have ever known. Enjoyed working with him.

I’ll always remember Uncle Dick!! He was so fun to be around and taught us street smarts. Like the time he brought a plumber out to the rental cottage in Gatlinburg at the reunion only to have the guy come back with moonshine. He was always fun to be around and I’ll always remember his laugh. Mostly because I heard it often. That was Him!! We’ll miss you and love you Uncle Dick!! Our prayers for Aunt Jeannie, Susan, Dave, Tree, and Bethy.

I had the pleasure of working a couple of cases with Dick and I must say he represented the Michigan State Police very well. He was kind, sensitive and firm in his dealing with the public as well as other agencies. Dick Chartier was one of the good guys and I was blessed to have known him. My condolence to his family for your loss.
