| “It
is not how a man dies that makes him a hero; it is how he lives.”
Chuck Cassidy was a hero everyday.
He lived to protect and serve – not just his family and friends
but everyone he came into contact with. He made a difference in
the lives of so many and in doing so, he made this world a better
place. We should all strive to follow his example.
So we now call on you to be an everyday
hero. Please pick a day, choose an activity and make life better
for someone else. Remember Chuck, tell his story
and honor his memory in your service. Tell others about this website
and ask that they do the same. Then let us know what you did. Send
us your story (rememberchuck@rememberchuck.org)
and your pictures (if applicable), and we’ll post them on
this site. Your works will inspire others and bring comfort to Chuck’s
family, knowing his legacy of service and good deeds lives on. Out
of this tragedy some good must come. Let’s continue to try
to make this world a better place…

We
love you…
For your loyalty and dedication to us,
your friends, and your work.
For always making us laugh.
For the special way you spoke to us – “thing and thang,”
“whaaaaatttaaa donkey!” “doesn’t have anything
to do with the price of cheese.”
Because you were the only one who knew how to tease Mommy when she
was already in a bad mood and get away with it.
Because even after all these years, you were still able to lift
us by our pants to place the angel on the Christmas tree.
For always enjoying the countless softball, basketball, soccer,
football, swimming, track, dance recitals, and lacrosse games. We
especially enjoyed the “critique” that followed in the
car ride home.
For the loving way you woke us in the morning – “feet
on floor,” “it ain’t noon yet”
For never getting tired of watching the same movies again and again
in your favorite chair.
Because of your willingness to clean up… especially when other
people were around.
For your appreciation of “one more drink.”
And the list could go on forever…
You’ve always been our hero –
and we’re now learning how many other people feel the same
way. We love you, Daddy.
Leni, Coledew, and Tick
