I am sorry  I never got to meet Chuck in person, but I have known Heidi before they were married. I knew him by knowing Heidi. I know how much they loved each other and when Chase and Abby came along that was the icing on their wedding cake. Chuck was such a loving and caring husband and father. A caring person for friends. What loving and beautiful memories this young family will have to remember for the rest of their lives. God Bless you Heidi, Chase and Abby. Love you.


Dear Heidi, Abby, and Chase:

God gives us a certain amount of time in this beautiful world He has made.  What we do with those gifts of talent and time honors God.  We all must spend some time away from what is dearest to us, using those talents for endeavors outside our family.  Having six years of working  with Chuck, I have no doubt that he kept his family well cared for.

Working on TSA's missions took some of your husband's and father's time away from the family.  For those efforts, we are all safer and I am personally grateful.  TSA's security and counterterrorism missions safeguard people everyday.  Chuck had a very central role ensuring security personnel have the very best information available to make critical decisions.  "Finding something" which merits a closer look is said in our community as being "a one-in-a-million" chance.  One-in-a-million sometimes happens several times a week and what Chuck designed and built helps us keep track of those findings and makes them visible.  His talent was directly responsible for the design of some systems which will be in use for as long as any of us who worked with him can see into the future.  Thank you for the time your husband and father gave to our country.

A Challenge Coin bears an organization's insignia or emblem.  To have that Challenge Coin shows more than simply you belong to the organization.  It shows that the organization is willing to spend coin to have you - that you are part of the reason that the organization works.  In Chuck's case, absolutely true.  I would like to give your family a TSA Challenge Coin in recognition of the enduring contributions Chuck's time and talents have brought and in remembrance of the family that he has at TSA.

Chuck was a good man and was my friend.  I believe that Chuck has honored God's gifts.  Well done Chuck!

With deepest sympathy and condolences,
Chris Pruneski
