CONFIRMED CENTEX MISSION
Charles E Dye, US Army, Veteran
Kempner, TX
The family of Charles Dye has requested the presence and participation of the Patriot Guard Riders at the Funeral Service and Interment of their Loved One.
Charles was a friend and neighbor of our former Deputy State Captain, Harry "Hacksaw" Morton. Their sons grew up together and have been close friends all their lives. Per Harry: "Chuck was a biker and was instrumental in getting me interested in riding. We talked a lot about motorcycles before I took the plunge and bought one. Then he had to ride it home for me because I didn't have my license yet. Chuck Dye is the man who originally told me about the Patriot Guard Riders. It was because of him I sought out the organization and became a member." Charles' full obituary may be found here: http://harpertalasekfh.com/services.asp?page=odetail&locid=33&id=29363

No matter what Chuck was doing, if he was outside and could hear my pipes, he would stop and give me a smile and a wave as I rode by his driveway. Often I'd stop and we'd talk about our rides and the ones we always planned to make.
Chuck was always a friendly face in a world with far too few.
I'm going to miss that smile and wave.
