Chad - I was thinking about you the other day and some of us were talking about how different it would have been if you still would be here for all of the events and crazy things going on in the world today. I wish we would have had much longer as I was looking forward to having you here in my backyard. Just wanted to tell you I was thinking about you, Happy 45th Birthday in heaven and say "hi" to everyone for me. Miss you lots! Love, Kim

Chad -it is 5 years that you have been gone now and not a day goes by that I don't think and wonder. Wonder how you are....wonder what you are doing....wonder what it is like where you are...wonder how it would be if you were still here......I could go on and on.
I think about you always and wish that we could have had more time. Time was cut way too short.
I hope you are ok and always looking down on us.
Take care of yourself. When it comes to be my time I hope you are waiting for me.

Love your sister Kim

To Chad's family: I had the privilege of knowing Chad from working at Mack Macungie Operations. Many times he would deliver packages from the Receiving Department to our office. He was the nicest, most courteous person--always had a smile and something nice to say. He will be missed at Mack and always remembered with a smile!

Chad and I first met in 4th grade when our 2 schools combined. Being in a small class with only a few guys, we all quickly became great friends. Those times we shared in the grade school years are some of the best memories I have. I remember sleepovers at Chad's house, fishing, playing baseball on rival teams. A few years after high school we met up again by working together at Staples.
Some of my fondest memories growing up include Chad and my other grade school buddies. RIP Chad.
