This news broke my heart today.
I remember vividly the first time I ever met Chuck. It was my first PGR mission for PFC Tina Priest. We met at the Denny's near the airport.
Chuck was the first person I met and he invited me to sit with him at his table. He even bought me a cup of coffee.
I had the honor and privilige to ride with and along side Chuck many times after that. He was a gentle and kind man --- and a man amongst men.
The world is a bit lesser today knowing that he is no longer with us. My deepest sympathies to his family and other friends --- of which he had many. |

My deepest sympathies go out to the Burt family and friends. At a time like this the Love everyone had for him and the beautiful memories you shared I pray will help ease the heartache you feel at this time. I'm sure Chuck was a proud man a man that everyone could look up to. He was a true hero in every sense of the word and a fellow patriot that the world will be a much lonlier place without. He now serves in the kingdom of the Lord where there is only joy and happiness and peace amongst all. Please God bless this family and give them the strength to make it through this difficult time.

Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Chuck.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
