Mr.Rawlins as I called  him was a very sweet man, I only knew him a short time but he always had a smile on his face every time I would see him. We would talk about little things and it made me smile. He will be forever missed. RIP Mr. Rawlings , I will definitely miss seeing you around riverton tower.

"Chuck" was my oldest brother and I called him "Chuckles" because he always made me laugh.....he called me "Sis" or Skittles.  I was a pre teen when he joined the Air Force and I remember how proud our family was seeing him in that uniform  and how Mom and I cried when he left for Europe in 1958 or '59.  
Later years when both Chuckles and my husband, Craig, were out of the service and Chuckles had married a wonderful lady named Sandy in VA  we would take our sons  to the DC area to meet up with them --Chuckles acting as tour guide and he really knew all about it!  Such fun we had!

Later we adults  vacationed together every October to celebrate Sandy's birthday.  Chuckles always found fun places in Florida for us to meet them since we had moved to Palm Beach County in the Sunshine State...they  followed a few years later... to Jacksonville which Chuckles loved.   Sadly Sandy passed away in 2001 and we saw less of him.  When our family moved to Tennessee we tried to convince him to move with us but he loved JAX as he called it and his crossing guard position.

The last few years Chuck was a man of few words....I really miss his early morning phone calls and his text messages keeping me up to date on the news. I miss the sound of his voice....and  I am sad that I didn't have the chance to say goodbye "Chuckles."  
We loved you so much, Chuckles!! 

Sis. Craig, Davyd, Dean and Gina...plus great nephews... Aeric, Aidan and Gabriel

Chuck, Dad, was a great father to me and my brother Tim Staats. Was there for us when learning how to drive, through boyfriends and girlfriends, high school and getting married. Was like a father to my husband Rudy too since his father passed when he was just 10. Was an awesome grandpa to my niece Samantha and nephew Timothy Jr and really cared for them as his own grandchildren. Also  great grandpa to his great granddaughter Makayla. He grew even closer to Tim in the last few years as they battled cancer, first Tim then Dad. They shared so much in the end and this loss has us all heart broken and Chuck, Dad will be forever missed. May you rest in peace with Mom by your side Dad. 
Love,
Karen, Tim, Rudy, Timothy , Sam and Makayla
