A STATEMENT FROM THE PACE FAMILY

The family of Chuck Pace wishes to thank the people of our community for the gracious outpouring of support that has been shown in the wake of Chuck's murder this afternoon at the First Community Bank.

Chuck has been a manager at the bank for 10 years and started working at the bank more than 25 years ago as a teller. At the time of his death, Chuck was trying to help protect the bank's customers and employees.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the other families affected by this horrible crime.

Chuck is survived by a wife (Donna) and two children (Lloyd, 23 and Janice, 19). He was looking forward to becoming a grandfather in three months. He was an avid runner and a lover of mystery fiction who aspired to write his own novel once he retired from banking.

We will miss him greatly and he will always be our hero.
