Dear Mrs. Copeland,

Sorry for the loss of Chuck. We worked together in Production Control at BAE for many years. His 6:00 A.M. "Good Morning" , always with a smile, is missed. I always enjoyed our chats about home projects. The new shed, roof, lawn care and the hot rods too! All of these things will be remembered. Chuck was a real gentleman, always kind and thoughtful. It has been a priviledge to have known such a real nice guy.

Chuck, was a great friend and co-worker at BAE Systems. Our desk's were side by side in the production control department office. We talked about retirement and things going on in our daily life. I will miss him dearly as a co-worker and as a fellow brother (Sea Gull)!

To the Copeland Family,



Chuck was a very kind and sensitive person. I've known Chuck at BAE SYSTEMS since the Honeywell days. We've always managed a laugh or two together. Recently, I had joined Weight Watchers (he was there) He was a big help and encouraged me. We had fun at those meetings. It gave Chuck & I a chance to talk about things other than work. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. He will be missed greatly.

He will be missed. I worked with Chuck for the past three years. He was one of the first people I met when I started with BAE. Chuck and I always found a reason to laugh at something on a daily basis. When I learned of his passing on Friday, it made me realize just how fragile life is. Although I am very close to my children, I appreciated them just a little bit more this weekend. Mrs Copeland, your husband was one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of knowing. I cannot tell you how much we here at BAE will miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. It is a very sad day for us here at BAE.
