My thoughts & prayers are with Chuck's family. Chuck was one of the first people that I met at a "meeting", I was 14 years old and scared to death. He and I continued to cross paths often. I lived on Bellevue ave. when he lived just up the street on macarther. I think of him everytime I visit my parents over there... I am 37 now and Chuck was always a friend,a solid guy,and always treated me w/respect. I will always recall his smile and his funny sideways comments. You rest now chuck and I'll see ya later.

Chuck was a great man. He was a very loving father. He was always

there to help anyone in need. Chuck should have been a stand up

comedian because he would have been rich!!! He was rich in love, though. He had 3 wonderful sons

who worshipped the ground he walked on. Chris Thacker, Brandon Hagy,

and Wes Hagy were so lucky to have

Chuck as their father. Rest in peace Chuck, we will all miss you very much! Not one day of my life

will go by that you don't enter my

heart and mind.



Thanks for everything you ever did

for me.

Love Teresa

My thoughts and prayers go out to Chuck's family & friends at this difficult time. I'm sorry to say I didn't have contact with him for a few years. I was very saddened to hear of his passing. I will always remember his friendly nature and good sense of humor. I wish I had stayed in touch with him. I will remember him fondly. He definately had a way of making us laugh.

Thanks, Chuck.

You are all in my prayers at this difficult time. I know how much Chuck loved you all, and especially how proud he was of you, Chris. You were, and will continue to be, the sunshine of his life. Try to remember that God doesn't put more burden upon our shoulders than he feels we can bear. Chuck may not be with you, but he's still there in everything he loved, looking down on you.

Chuck flys with the Angels now, and when you feel a slight breeze blow to kiss your cheek, know that it's only the flutter of his wings upon the wind.

Chuck was more of a little brother than a cousin. I lived more at Nancy's at times than at home. I will miss him. Chris, you had a special dad. You will see him again in your own children.

Dear Nancy,

What a tragedy to loose your son. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. My youngest son died 6 1/2 years ago at age 26. It has been a number years since I have seen you. You will remember me as Pat Slaughter, married to Billy. Now I have been married 39 years to Ed Hendricks.



In Christian Love - Pat
