My prayers to the family. I grew up with Charlie in Ponca City on Peachtree Street, I lived on Birch Street. We had great times as kids growing up in the old neighborhood and those countless hours practicing our trombones for music class. Even though I had not seen Charlie for many years, I will miss him.
God blessed his family##imported-begin##Neil Black##imported-end##
Back in the Lincoln School days, Charlie and I rode bikes, joined Cub Scouts, read Mad Magazine, and listened to his Dad's Ediphone. By Junior High I was at East and he was at West, and we ended up going separate ways.
My deepest condolences to Mrs. McCabe, Kenneth, and the rest of his family.##imported-begin##Scott Horner##imported-end##
I have many fond memories of Charlie when we all lived on Peachtree Street in Ponca: His parakeet sitting on the temple piece of his glasses that I think he called Buzzard; his black cat named Minnie Boots or it could have been Middy Boots, as a kid in the sixties those words sounded the same to me; Charlie's sheer enjoyment of The Three Stooges, and his "yuk, yuk, yuk"!; sledding down the street in the winter snow with Willis and my dad, Raymond Morgan, pulling and slinging the sleds to see how far they would go.
Charlie being a DJ; moving to Houston and going to The Green Door BBQ Restuarant with him and his family. Best of all was the time he invited me to a progressive supper with his church youth group in the Houston area and someone asked how long we had been dating, and he said "all of our lives", which was true. We have been friends since we were toddlers and remained friends even after I was married and had children. Charlie exemplified what a true friend really is. I grieve with you and your families, but look forward to seeing him again when we meet him on the other side, in Heaven.##imported-begin##Tomyla Morgan Kohlenberg##imported-end##
Please accept my heart felt condolences in your loss. I was the 917th Air Force Reserve Fire Chief at Barksdale AFB when Charles first joined our department. Although I have been living in Georgia since 1992, I still remember the pleasant nature Charles always displayed. He, for sure, was a person who never hesitated to put forth 100% effort. Even though he is in a much better place now, the United States of America is a safer place today due to his contributions in defending our country. I can positively say that the 917th Fire Department is a better unit because of Charles Timothy McCabe. May God bless and watch over you, his family, during this time.##imported-begin##Tommy C.

I served with Charles in the 917th CES Fire Department and served together in Operation Desert Storm at England Air Force Base. He was the nicest guy in the world. I know he will be missed by all who knew him.##imported-begin##Roger McManus##imported-end##
I knew Chuck also at Holloman AFB, NM, and then deployed with him to Kyrgyzstan. He will surely be missed, as he was a great man to serve with. May God bless his soul.##imported-begin##Scott##imported-end##

I will miss my brother Charles. We were stationed in NM and deployed together. He was great friend and we encouraged each other in the Lord. He has gone home to be with the Father, but will be mised by many. To the family, stay strong and lean on the Lord for support, He will never leave you nor forsake you. God bless##imported-begin##Danny Hebert##imported-end##
I knew Charles McCabe as TSgt McCabe while he was serving on active duty here at Holloman AFB post September 11th 2001. I can still remember all of the stories that I have heard about his old car that he drove down here and eventually sold to some airman. I got the message that he had passed from Dennie Boyt and the first thing that I said is I can believe that McCabe has passed. he will be truly missed.##imported-begin##SrA Benjamin Lomas##imported-end##
