Dear Fuqua Family: Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved. There are never any right words to express how deeply sad I am for the pain your family is enduring at this difficult time. Although I did not have the honor and pleasure of knowing him, as Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I am sincerely thankful for his valiant service in defense of our rights and freedom. His commitment to family, friends, our community, and to serving our great nation leaves a wonderful legacy. May the love and the wonderful memories you shared with him help you when you need it most. He will never be forgotten, and your family will be remembered in my prayers.

We have known Charlie for years. There was never a meeting with him that he did not talk about his children, and then his grandchildren. His laugh and character will be missed. His family is in our prayers.

Charlie, You were a good friend, a great dad, and will be missed. Patty & Donny Strader

I will miss Charlie. He and his family have been entertwined with my family since we moved next to each other in Portland in the early 1970's. Lois was always so kind to us all. Charlie has been too, but there was the rebel in him too that, if I am honest, I liked best about him. 
Charlie had the fastest and loudestcar in high school it seemed. He let me drive it when we were sent out to pick up ice for the neighborhood, but we had to go past Beeville to find any after Hurricane Celia tore through the coastal bend. Last year when Hurricane Dolly sent out a little fringe storm to San Antonio, my truck may have been the first damage from the storm when a tree fell on it. Charlie was dispatching at the police station when he got the call and we both had a good laugh that once again we were put to work by a hurricaine. 
Back in high school, we almost got in trouble fishing in a Port Aransas channel near the gulf. The fog rolled in so thick and suddenly we could not see anything, including the shore. No radio, cell phone, or compass. Our parents did get a little worried I think. Fortunately, a boat finally came along that knew where it was going and we followed it in. That may have been the same boat we lashed down to the Fuqua's island house at Port Aransas the next year when hurricane Celia came through. We went back to see if the boat survived, but could not find it, the house, or even the pilings that we tied the boat too. 
I regret that I could not overcome Charlie's apprehension on going to the dentist. He would periodically let me help him when a tooth had been aching for too long. It does remind me that my profession in dentistry still has much to overcome and that we must continue to get better. 
There were a few other overlapping family occurences like his brother Greg marrying a pretty hygienist, GeorgeAnn, that used to work with me. 
Mom, my brothers, and I send all our love to Charlie's family and friends. I regret that I will be out of town for the services. Unfortunately, because of this, Modena may not be able to attend services Monday. Please know this has been a deep concern and prayer on her heart for you as she knew more of Charlie's children then I did. Please feel free to call her at anytime.

Lois, Greg, Laura, Misty & Rachel We did not know Charles personally but we want you to know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. You have our Deepest Sympathy. The Benson Family DB's Sister & Family

Charlie, my family and I will miss you deeply. You always had a smile on your face and a kind word to say whenever myself or my family came to the sub. I have known you for a long time, and you would'nt think twice if someone asked you for a favor, no matter how menial it may have been. You were a valuable asset to the station and everyone who worked there. God Bless You Charlie! We will talk to you in our prayers. The Warren Family

To the family of Charles Wright Fuqua III, I am deeply saddened for your loss of Charles. I would like to extend my sincere condolence to the entire family. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. With a heavy heart, 
Blake Benson

We are so sorry for your loss. Charlie was a wonderful and kind man and we were happy to have known him.

Charlie Fuqua was a great friend and a heck of a Service Agent. He was loved by everyone and had a gentle soul. He was always willing to help you out and could be relied upon when you needed something. You will be missed my friend. Rest in peace and God bless you and your family. SAPD Officer Oscar J. Medrano Jr. # 1368 North CRT

Thanks Charlie. Thanks for your service to America and to this city. I could always depend on you.

For all the times you walked to the parking lot to get uniforms, flashlights etc. that I left in the cars. 
You were a good friend and a great service agent.

MY DEAR, OLD FRIEND.. WHEN I LEFT YOU LAST SATURDAY I HAD NO THOUGHT OF YOU NOT KEEPING YOUR PROMISE. OUR PLAN WAS TO HOOK UP LATER IN THE WEEK. AS YOU WALKED IN THE DOOR FROM WHERE WE HAD BEEN SITTING ON THE BENCH IN FRONT OF NORTH SUB, YOUR WORDS WILL BE WITH ME FOREVER... "JIMBO, WE'RE LONG OVER DUE FOR SOME SERIOUS BEER DRINKIN"..... 
I'LL TIP A FEW FOR YOU MY OLD FRIEND. EVE AND ME WILL MISS YOU..YOUR FAMILY WILL MISS YOU, AND THE SUB WILL MISS YOU.
