Read MoreMr "Chuckles", first met you when you were working at the Coke-Cola on Lapeer Rd. How long ago was that?? All through the years we know your gruff was mostly bluff, but your heart was always in the right place. Gonna miss you, be at peace.

I was saddened to hear of Chuck's passing. He was a good friend and co-worker. We played ice hockey on the same team. He was an outstanding goal tender. RIP Chuck.

When I read all your tributes Chuck, I know I was right many years ago when you were my neighbor. I had such a crush on you, especially when you were in uniform. Handsome, witty with a great smile. Rest in Peace sweet, handsome friend!

Sgt Abraham was a legend in my eyes. When I was a young patrolman he took me under his wing, so to speak, and looked out for me in a way only he could. He taught me so much about how to do policework and I have never forgotten that til this day. He will be sorely missed. Thanks for all your help!! Now you can Rest In Peace knowing you got the job done.

Chuck was a fellow law enforcement officer and great friend - what a sense of humor; sometimes a little off beat, but done so intentionally to through you off - just a special twist to say " I got ya " - my prayers and sympathy go out to all those close - God Bless !
