Letter: CHAD 'Honoring the Legacy That Peter Left'

An open letter from the board members and volunteers involved with Charlestown Against Drugs, an organization where Peter Looney served as chairman.

The board members and volunteers of Charlestown Against Drugs wish to express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of our Chairman Peter Looney.

Peter passed from this earth on August 11, 2011 at the age of 69. Almost half of his life spent as chairman of Charlestown Against Drugs (CHAD). We would like to reassure the Looney family and all of Charlestown that the work Peter has done to establish and nurture CHAD will not be forgotten nor neglected.

CHAD will continue as Peter would have wanted it to, as an all volunteer organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in Charlestown.

Peter has passed from this earth, but his spirit will live on though Charlestown Against Drugs. The path that Peter has carved will continue to be heavily traveled by providing programs that are dedicated to serving the residents of Charlestown, especially our youth. CHAD is committed to honoring the legacy that Peter left us. It is our intention to continue the good work of CHAD. 

Peter can never be replaced, but his work ethic and commitment to the town he loved so much will carry on through those who worked side by side with him. With Peter always in our hearts, CHAD will continue its efforts to assist the residents and organizations of the Charlestown community when and where ever we are needed.
