Charles J. Savage Jr.

Chuck was the very best 665th commander. I think of him often. Dusty

It has been more than 50 years since Chuck Savage, a great man and Pink Panther 56 were fighting in Vietnam. I think about him, Doug Brown, another great Panther 56, often still. Elaine and family, your husband and dad left an outstanding legacy that is tough to match. I feel sure he is happy in God's House, and I hope to see him there again one day. He was and is special to me. I lost my wife of 47 years in February 2020 in a wretched year. Thankfully, I have and had friends like Chuck and...

It's amazing how you think about someone one day and the next day an email comes to you about that person and remembering them. Chuck, I still remember that day you wanted to exercise and I said I could only walk so you decided to take me on that six mile "walk". I have never walked so fast in my life! You were laughing when we got back to the office because at the beginning of the walk I could still talk but at the end I was lucky I was still breathing! You told everyone you found the trick...

Chuck and Elaine, I think about you often. You were the best 665th Commander and maintenance officer any commander could have. God bless you. Panther 6

It is the night of the 7th and tomorrow this book will close. It will be our time alone from now on. Two years and I still think you will walk in that door. My mind knows the sad truth but my heart refuses to let go. It will be a continued struggle for a long time to come. We were a complete family for so many years now one of the main pieces is gone and it is so hard to close the hole that was made when we lost you. We talk about you all the time I want the girls to remember you. You...

Hon, Just had to write and let you know that Dee got accepted to 2 colleges so far.she also got the chance to go to any state school because she did well on MCAS. I know how proud of her you are. You always wanted her to go on to college and she is doing it for you. She loves you so much. Just needed to tell you. I know you are telling everyone in Heaven about her. you were always so proud of everyone. You did good Chuck !!!!

I miss you Uncle Chuck, I hope this helped everyone get through another year. I loved reading all of the fun stories about Uncle Chuck, that is the kind of person he was. FUN. I still talk to my Mom everyday, and it's been almost 6 years. I swear I even get answers back from her. Destiny, I found that writing a journal just to my Mom helps me out alot. It's getting it out that helps make it a little bit easier. Congratulations Matt on your marriage, I know how hard it is to hit certain...

Hi hon, This may be my last entry in this book because it will close on the 8th of Feb. I have mixed emotions about it but I know it is the right time. I will talk to you everyday and you will always be with me in my heart. No one will ever take your place. You were the best hon. I look at your pictures and all we did was laugh either with our families or being with our friends. We laughed so much at the marina and we couldn't remember why. I struggle with your death because I know how...
