Well, Charlie another year has past. I hope you will like the Carribian, everytime I travel I will take you with me and let you become part of the part of the world I travel.

I wrote this shortly after Ricky passed...I miss you my friend almost everyday; I reach in my mind for the sweet things you'd say; You are missed by so many more than you know; God, how I wish you didn't have to go. The biggest dork I've seen in years; And I'd give anything to bring you back here. You were a big ol' boy with an even bigger heart; And I'm proud to say in my life you had a part;
I'm better having known you and I miss you so; God, how I wish you didn't have to go. A big man with a voice so gruff; Who knew he was filled with so much love; For family, women and even friends; Your legacy just will not end. My memories of you are vivid and clear; Almost all of them are filled with cheer. Though I love those memories, they still hurt me so,
God, How I wish you didn't have to go. Love you buddy:(

Hope you will like Maui.
Love Debbie

Another Christmas without you, you were in my thoughts and prayers. There has not been a day which has passed that I havent thought about you.

Cant believe its been one year. How my life and your family's life has changed. There has not been a day that has passed I havent thought about you. You are truly missed by all. All my thoughts and prayers are with your family, expecially with Rita, Greg, Alexa.
Love you always and forever.
Also sorry about your White Sox, and Good Luck to your Vikings this weekend.

I am sure you are yuking it up over the Cubs not making it pass the first round
I know that you will be with me, Mikey, Matt, and Chris today cheering your White Sox's on.

I know that even though you were not there in person you were there in spirit watching over all. You were greatly missed by everyone that loves you and cares.

Ricky,
Here it's my 50th birthday and your not here to help me celebrate. I didn't want a cake cuz when I blew out the candles there would only be one wish that you were here with all of us. We miss you very much.
We will never forget you.
Love ya
Helen, Gary, Gary jr & Rob

Charlie,
You will always be a part of Las Vegas at your favorite site. Love you

Charlie,
I played your message that you left me that morning the day of your accident telling me you LOVED ME and that you would talk to me later. I am so glad we talked that evening making plans to go back to Alaska. You were so excited about going back there. It helped me get through Valentines Day remembering that day. I remember last year how special you made the evening, even though you thought of Valentines Day as a Hallmark Holiday. You knew that sending me a dozen red roses going to dinner and getting me the stuffed animal(TWO BEARS KISSING) and the BEAUTIFUL CARD would make me happy. You always were thinking of me and making me happy each day. Just by calling me each morning and evening and telling me you loved me. I missed those calls. But when I am feeling blue, I just replay that message which I will have FOREVER.
LOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS
YOUR BEST FRIEND AND LOVED ONE.
DEBBIE

TO MY LOVE,
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY. You will always be part of my heart and soul.

Patrick, my nephew, misses you very much. Last weekend he was on the couch holding your picture amd crying how much he misses you and wishes you were here. He always loved you, expecially when you and him would play around together. I think that you had him the first time you met and he was 4 yrs old and he wanted you to play downstairs with him, even if it was with his sister's BARBIE DOLL.
Sure miss you on our IDOL NIGHTS, I watch them at home alone now. Its not the same thats for sure.
Going to Vegas with mom, I will bring you along with me and let you be part of the Beligo water show FOREVER.
Love, Debbie
Love you always and forever.
Debbie

Love you always with my heart and soul and forever.
Debbie

Charlie,
Thinking about you alot this past holiday and missing you everyday.
I know that you must be laughing at me having a puppy, his name is Hubble, he is a joy. He helps fill the lonliness. Keeps me busy.
Going over to Mike and Cindy's today to show them and the kids the puppy. That will be fun. Just want to let you know that I am thinking about you.
I am hoping 2008 will be better than 2007 was.
Love you Bushel and a Peck.
Debbie

Charlie,
Christmas was not the same, you were missed by my family and of course by me. It still seems unreal. I have been dreaming about you alot, must be that you are thinking about me and I know that you are with me everyday. I listen to your phone message every morning where you tell me how much you loved me. It helps me start my day. I know that you will get a kick out of me with the puppy, Hubble. Dont laugh too much. It will be challanging and fun. The child I never had. Please watch over Barney he really misses you. You were a brother to him. Wally has been great and so has Mike, Cindy, and Bea, Greg, Chris, and Helen. We keep in touch and also go to breakfast when we can. Keeping up the tradition.
I havent really heard from Rita, but I know that she is busy with Alexa. I will be seeing her in a few weeks for her birthday. I know that she misses you very much. You were everything to her.

Love you forever.
Your love and best friend.
Debbie

Rick,

There are not many days that we don't think of you. Deb's getting a dog, we think that's the best thing for her. Merry Christmas wish you were hear with us, I know you are with us in spirt. Love ya The Barnes

Charlie,
Last week we did present opening with Rita, Greg, Wally, Dave, Chris and Alexa. Alexa and I played in your room. We sang songs like we use to and she jumped on the bed and she asked me for some change to put in the jug. It reminded me of what we use to do when we watched her. We had a nice evening and went out to dinner but it wasnt the same something was sure missing, and it was YOU!!! This Christmas will not be the same or will the Christmas' after. I hope you liked my card and gift I left for you. You are always in my mind and in my heart. I bet you are laughing about me getting a dog and also you are glad, it will be keeping me company so I will not be so lonely. I cant wait to get him. It will help ease the pain coming home. I love you very much.
I know that you are here with me and also with your family everyday.
Love you,
Debbie

Charlie, Just thought I would let you know how well loved you were and are by all your fellow co workers. Everyone from your company that I met had nothing but kind words about you. It was nice to meet the people that you always talked about. They miss you very much and will always continue to miss you. You touched everyone's life that you knew and met. The tribute for you by your company was a very emotional one for me and everyone else. Love you always

Charlie,
Everyone missed you yesterday, but we know that you were there in spirit. There sure was a missing piece from my heart. Thinking of you each day that passes. Love you a bushel and a peck and always and forever. Debbie

Rick,
We miss you so much, I can't tell you how hard it's been for all of us.I am still having your birthday dinner (CB).I know you will be there in spirt.Life is not the same without you in it. At your luncheon Gary Sr. made a speech that would have made you so proud. You were the best and no one will ever take your place in our hearts. Hey Man Happy birthday. Love always and forever.Gary,Helen,Gary Jr.& Rob Barnes.

Dear Charlie,
I know tomorrow November 15th, that you will be celebrating your birthday with your mom, Terry, and Mark. I hope you liked the flowers and the gifts I left for you yesterday. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you. I play your message that you left on my phone voice mail every morning. It helps me get through the day. I am so lucky to have that to play everyday. I know that you loved me because you told me every morning that we talked. I love you now and forever and no one will ever take that away from me.
Love you Always,
Happy Birthday.
Debbie

My brother. you are so missed. You are in every thought today. Happy birthday. LOVE Pookie & Brown

Charlie,
As you saw at your memorial you were loved by many people. The priest wishes he could get the church that full on Sundays. Debbie, Adam, Sarah, and Kelly played a big part in making that a special day in your honor. There has not been a day which has gone by that I have not thought about you. There is a missing part in my heart since you are gone. I will be thinking about you and loving you always.
Love, Debbie

October 29, 2007
Through my son Tony O'Neill, I met Charlie. He was such a kind man with a very warm and generous heart. He helped my family during some hard times and for that I will always cherish his memory. My family and I will miss him terribly.

Rita, I am so sorry for your loss. I only met your Dad at Alexa's christening and he seemed like a wonderful man as I am sure that he was. When you talked of him your face always lit up. Daddy's little girl and Alexa being Grandpa's little girl. He will always live in your heart and I am sure that he will walk with you every step of the way. I want you to know that I am here for you and Alexa if you need me. If there is one thing that I have learned in life is that we all need a helping hand at one time or another so, please Rita don't ever hesitate to reach out if you need to. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Mimi

Im not gonna leave a sad message i dont think thats what you would want all i want to say is that rick(chewy) you were a great person and you helped make me the man i am today thanks for everything if i ever have grandkids i will tell them of there uncle chewbacca i can only hope they will know someone like you

Uncle Rick's,
You were the best Godfather. Thank you for everything. I will always remember all the great memories on the annual Easter fishing trips. I will never forget you. I will miss you in my life. Your were the best. Love always Gary Jr.

To Rick's family and loved ones,
I was so sorry to learn of his passing yesterday. The image of his singing the fig newton song just came to mind. I stand with you in your loss and know that you are being held through your tears and smiles as you remember moments of joy and laughter, his unique lively laugh and grieve the loss of his presence with us on Earth.

I never had the honor of knowing Charlie, but I did meet Debbie and saw Rita and his granddaughter at the hospital. We slept in the same waiting room each night and smiled as we passed in the halls. Our hearts were heavy for our loved ones. My prayers are with his family, his daughter, and Debbie. May God bless you with many loving memories and a comforted spirit.

Dear Charlie,
It was a pleasure to have known you. I wish that we could have had more time. I was looking forward to future outings where we all could share a good laugh. I must say you always had a smile. It will be forever remembered. God bless your family and friends with many stories and fond memories to share in the years to come. May you be at rest.
Tina and Tom Butcher
