Reading all these nasty comments on here just reminds me of the reason why I moved out of Cape May County...nothing but a bunch of *** who get into everybody else's business and talk *** without knowing all of the facts. I have known Howdy my entire life and he is one of the sweetest, kindest people I've ever known who would never hurt anyone intentionally. Unless you were at the crash site or were one of the arresting officers, you ought to keep your mouth shut until all the facts come out from the investigation, which remember, people, hasn't been completed yet, and probably won't be released for a long time. I understand when something tragic like this happens, human nature looks for someone or something to blame. If Howdy WAS under the influence, then he will pay the consequences. But reading all these posts on here crucifying the man before all the facts are known is classic Cape May County ***. My prayers go out to both families.-D.C. in Salem Co.

Denise may you rest in peace. May god help your family through this tring time and make their heart at ease knowing you are with you maker and one day they will see you again. You left this earth way to soon. I will keep you and your family in the thoughts and prays. I will also pray that the other victim. Hopfully he will forgive his self for the accident and your family can also forgive him.

In reference to the Wed 9:46pm comment.

Who investigated before the Fatal Team was formed ?
Did someone get theirl feelings hurt at the scene. Let the officer do his job.
Don't let your personal feelings enter into the professional picture.
Especially at such a tragic time. Think before you speak.

Maybe we all should read and act on Shelly's comment.

Thu, 11/20/2008 - 11:25am

People make bad decisions everyday, drinking and then driving is one of them. What we should all take away from this is to make better decisions before we act because our bad decisions could possibly effect more than just us.

Thu, 11/20/2008 - 10:51am

For the *** who posted a comment about mike elias on 11/19/08 9;46pm,please learn how to spell it is investigators.I f you are implyig Mike talked to the Herald you are so far from the truth he never said nothing about who was at fault.When you post a comment like that also read it before you post it your sentence is missing words.It is a shame that jealously has to show it ugly head in the time of tradegy.These families our mourning and a uneducated *** takes senseless shots at a person I respect. I work with Mike and I learned alot from all of 20yrs experience and all his accident investigation experience. The Middle Twp Fatal Accident Team along with The County Accidetnt team will make it determation after all the evidence is examained not just mike elias.So in the future be a man and say it to his face not in a comment section of someone who just lost her life the family deserves more respect then that.

Thu, 11/20/2008 - 10:09am

11/20@12:45 How can you blame God? You're saying that God decides that soemone should go in such a horrific way and others should simply die in their sleep? It was an accident caused by whoever crossed into the other's path. God didn't make this happen!

Thu, 11/20/2008 - 7:22am

I have read every comment and can't help but respond. So sad...That's all I can say about this whole incident. First of all I would like to send my heart felt sympathy to both families. I have lost people in my life and I know how debilitating and difficult it is to endure. I hope that you have God in your life to help you all. This was a terrible accident. Unfortunately hundreds of thousands of accidents happen every day. People get hurt and some die. I just can't believe that the people in Cape May County are so cruel and judgemental toward each other. The facts of this case are not known, or publicized. How can anyone pass judgement on either of these people. Their families are devastated over this, I am sure. And I am sure Howdy is as well. Loss is never easy, but there is a loving God that will walk with us through this tragedy and whatever other tragedies we see in our lifetime. It just saddens me to see such an attack on people. As Jesus said, " Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." We are all sinners and make mistakes and no one should judge another person. Instead of pointing fingers, let's all say a prayer for everyone involved, that they can have some peace about this terrible loss. There is power in prayer. Let's do our part and stand together as a community and provide support to each other. God Bless, SHELLY

Thu, 11/20/2008 - 12:45am

for the people out there that don't think god had anything to do with this he did. god planned out the lady's life for her, yes its sad that she had to go the way she did but that's how god intended it. howdy was not drunk that night, so stop blaming the alcohol. it happend 4 a reason. my heart gose out to Denise Cianchetta's family soo sorry for ur loss. love u uncle howdy

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 10:53pm

Denise's family, you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I bet when this is all over you will in fact find that Howdy was drunk. He was the town drunk, was at a Beef and Beer and then was at a bar afterwards....NO ALCOHOL, yeah, right. If alcohol was a contributing factor, I hope he spends some time in JAIL!!! What a shame.

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 9:56pm

This is a tragic situation that involved my daughters father and not her. Our hearts go out to the Cianchetta family for their loss. This situation does not involve my daughter so please leave her out of this. I can only hope that other people can be as mature as Sara was with the comment she had left.

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 9:46pm

why do people say the f150 crossed the line? were they there? the police say it did or they assume it did but it was still in its lane at the seen. [mike ellas should let the real investigiters do there job] then let the herald put it in the paper.i would like to sorry to the cianchetta family for there lost and the becica family for having to deal with something like this

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 7:49pm

People on here really need to grow up and act like ADULTS. Someone has lost their life and another is in the hospital. I have read every comment on here and I cant believe what most of them are saying. Also what happened was an accident. they call it that for a reason. Its not like Howdy said to him self today, well Im going to drive down Indian Trail and hit a pick up truck and make the drive deceased. A lot of people have accidents every year.

Also to Tue, 11/18/2008 - 6:05pm ------Why are you bringing tow truck compainies into this? That will make them look bad.

Well I send my heart and prayers to both families and hope that Denise's family can find it in their hearts somewhere along the line to forgive Howdy.

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 6:08pm

God allows bad to happen so good will come of it

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 6:08pm

okay this is a horrible thing for both families. i know howdy quite well and yes he was a drinker, but he is one of the sweetest men i have ever met. he would do anything for anyone and im sure he is very upset and sorry for what he has done. it was an accident, whether is or not there was alchol involved is not anyones decision but the courts and not everyone elses idea to bicker about what they think is the way things went down. alll it is is drama both families are dealing with an exceptionally great deal of pain. howdy was a good man and yeah he liked to drink but unless you have proof and are ready to put it up on here than keep your trap shut. it is a very tragic thing for all and the last thing people need is to run their mouths about things they know nothing about. it is very sad and could have happend to anyone, whether they were drinking or not, think about it this way, anyone could cross the line while they are driving due to a lot of circumstances, like an animal, cell phone, reaching for something in the car like a cigarette changing the radio station, or looking off the road for a minute. even speeding and passing another car and thinking you have enough room. my stepmother had that happen at 8 oclock in the morning and the driver was not drinking. i hope it all makes people wake up and be more cautious when they drive. but stop saying howdy was a bad man because if you knew him he loved his daughter dearly and was a sweet down to earth guy who would never intentionally hurt someone and he has to live with this outcome for the rest of his life its not something anyone ever forgets.

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 4:55pm

All I have to say there is alot of out pouring for the person that caused this accident. What about the victim. Denise is no longer here...She died because someone hit her head on and she died. I can never see my friend again. I am so sad over this. It is horrible the way people talk. You should all be ashamed. I miss my friend, she was sweet funny and a great person. I have known her for over 15 years. Her husband, children and grandchildren will not see her again....this also encludes her family and friends. Denise was a special time. Yes it was an accident and a tragic one at that.... It was not her time it was taken from her. If one more person says how wonderful that the person that caused this accident is still alive...I am going scream....

Denise hun rest in peace. I am sure in the long run we will all know the truth of what happened that night. You haven't left my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for being in my life you were very special to me. I know God has you in his safe arms and you are well now. I miss you and I won't forget you...ever.

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 4:35pm

Alright so to all you peopel saying howdie should go rot in jail and how he is such a bad person-

i think you people all need to learn all the facts. they never once said that he was driving drunk. they tested him for it but they always do when there is a car accident. not that it makes the family less hurt. there is no way that any of you people can sit here and judge him, half of you probably dont even know him. learn the facts before you start talking about someone who is in the hospital after something so tramatizing. do honestly you think he isn't upset by this? that he could have caused so much pain for one lady and her family and not be extremely upset by it? well you're all wrong.

Stewie G-
nobody asked you to come on here and tell things that have happened to him in the past. and yeah he's made mistakes. you haven't? doubt it. there is no way that you can say that howdie was the one who messed things up with his "sweet daughter" i'm related to both of them and i know shes played her part in messing things up. not that you should even bring that up. has nothing to do with the accident.

i tihnk its funny that her own daughter is being so mature about this compared to the people who don't know either one. shes the one that is dealing with the most and she is being more grown up then all of you. my heart and the rest of the becica familys hearts do go out to the family. we are deeply sorry for your loss. rip.

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 2:22pm

LIsten here peoples.....accidents do happen.....but to sit here and put Howdy down is just so wrong.....he is human and makes mistakes just like the rest of us..so I think everyone should just back off,,,he is suffering enough with out everyone putting him down......what if it were the other way around? HUH? What if? Yea what I thought then no body would be saying anything would they...?
So please back off and let the people involved heal......If any of you out there beleive in the Lord above then this happen for a reason...this is how he wanted her to go and it was her calling...Remember we all have our number...

So Please let everyone heal

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 1:15pm

how can you be at a beef and beer all day then go to another bar and NOT DRINK!!!!!!!!!!!and being KNOWN as a town drinker???????? So shut the *** up about alcohol!!!!!!!! OK ***!!!!! HE WAS DRINKING AND better believe it he caused the accident, cannot and will not believe he had no alcohol in his blood.so stop the issues about "HOWDY" not having a drink and getting behind the wheel >>>>>>PERIOD!!!!Very hard to believe just cant see how you can be at a bar knowing that he drinks mostly all the time and not drink, freaking retard! dont try to cover the guys mistakes. Some people just do not learn untill its too ***LATE!!
SHUT the ***!!

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 9:52am

Please don't blame God. The woman died because of someone else coming into her lane. Yes, it was an accident, but the crap about it being her time-come on now. So you're saying God caused the one driver to cross lanes? You're saying God is responsible for taking lives? God makes people go get guns and shoot others? The fact of the matter is, it was an accident, and whoever caused the accident is the reason this woman is no longer here. I'm not trying to make the living driver feel any worse because I'm sure he's suffering mentally because of this, but I would like to believe that God wouldn't wish that kind of suffering on him.

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 1:05am

first off no 1 was drinking and driving. everything happens for a reason apparently they were both on the rode at the same time for a reason, and apparently it was her time to go. and everyone wants to bring up stuff that happened in the past with Howey what about the lady ?????? even tho nothing they did in the past has anything to do with what happened that night. everyone makes mistakes. and for the people that were talking about his daughter and his brother, how childish can u be ??????????they had nothing to do with any of it. so don't bring them into it. and Howey has lost people in his life, he lost his mother just like the lady's kid's did so he knows what it is like too. it's not like he meant to kill the lady. and before u start making stories y don't u wait for the real one ? my heart goes out to the 4 kids that lost their mother. and uncle Howey i love u . everything will fall in place 4 u. and for everyone else remember god has planed all of our lives from when we were put on earth and form the day he takes us away

Wed, 11/19/2008 - 12:21am

everything happens 4 a reason, maybe it was her time to go. stop putting all the blame on uncle Howey. god made this happen 4 a reason. so lets all stop being mean, half the people don't even know the true story. everyone wants to bring up all the faults that he had in the past, and also bring his daughter and brother in it what do they have to do with any of it ??????grow the hell up. love u uncle

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 6:53pm

Reading some of these posts, it is obvious that many of you come from the Villas or Kensington by the Sea. Most of you sound very ignorant making claims before you KNOW the facts. Also, if you want to leave comments and sound somewhat intelligent, please learn to spell, use capitalization, and proper grammar. Many of you sound like backwoods West Virginia.

To Sara
You are truly nobel and commendable you are exactly right about it all, this should not be about blaime nor should it be about this ongoing online battle. I admire your strength and your view. I wish I could be a strong as you are I myself have had family in this situation and I do know how easy it is to point the blaim. You are going about this the nobel way and im sure your mom would be proud. I am truly sorry for your loss and keep your head. Have hope and Bless you and your family.

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 6:05pm

I THINK COURT HOUSE TOWING SHOULD TEST HIS BROTHER I SAW HIM IN WAWA SMELLED LIKE POT EYES WHERE RED AND HE GOT IN TO HIS TOW TRUCK... I FEEL BAD FOR THE FAMILY.. FOR WHAT I KNOW OF HODY HE WAS A NICE MAN HE IS THE KIND OF GUY WHO WOULD GIVR U THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 5:44pm

I have just one question the police say Howdy crossed over into the other lane then why did the accident occur in HIS lane? Does not sound right now does it he has been cleared of drinking so those of you who THINK they know him, and his past that has nothing to do with that night. And my heart does go out to denise's family it is extremely heartbreaking especially around this time of year, however she is the one that was heard driving crazy after a fight with her husband. So we really need to look at this harder to see who's at fault here somebodys past should not decide what really happened that night. Get better Howdy and God bless Denise's family

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 2:29pm

My HEART GOES OUT TO DENISES FAMILY I AM SO SORRY FOR YOU LOST, AN EVEN THOUGH I DID'NT KNOW HER AS WELL AS SOME, THE TIME I DID KNOW HER WAS WONDERFUL SHE COULD ALWAYS PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE. SHE WILL BE TERRIABLE MISSED AND ALWAYS LOVED.

TLR

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 1:42pm

It's unbelievable that this has happened. I don't believe that Howdy sober during the accident since he just lost his job driving a tow truck because he was drinking on the job at a bar with the company truck.

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 1:24pm

Howdy is one of my cuzins and accidents happen!!!So stop sayin tht he wuz drunk cuz he WASNT!!!!!!!

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 12:43pm

***What the people need to know is the truth about this guy. He was fired from his last job as a tow truck driver because he was drinking at Jakes Bar while on duty WITH THE COMPANY FLATBED TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!! He has lied and has made to nothing but broken promises to his sweet daughter. There were times when he seen his daughter and was noodling in and out of coherence. OK lets just say that his blood alcohol level was at or below the legal limit then I would have to say what kind of pill was he on or how much pot did he smoke at that time. He is a vindicative and selfish man who I'm ashamed to even call him a man because he gives us real men a bad name. I've seen him driving with an open 6 pack of beer before he even had legally gotten his license, and this wasn't that long ago mind you. Let's not give him his 15 minutes of fame, lets think about the poor family of Denise Cianchetta who will never see her again, lets think about Howdy poor daughter with whom he has broken promise after promise to her. Ask Howdy why his daughter hasn't spoken to him in months. Lets pray that the Middle Township police and prosecutor can build a strong case against Howdy. No family should have to bury someone before their time, and no liar should walk the earth free. I know who I'm praying for tonight, and its not for a speedy recovery for a liar.*** -Stewie G.

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 12:36pm

after reading the comments posted on this page i thank those of u who left heartfelt thoughts, as for rest of u im sick to my stomach that u think it is ok to treat this as if it were nothing.
When push comes to shove it doesnt matter what this man did or didnt have in his system , and it truly doesnt matter who was or wasnt at fault. what does matter is that i will never pull into my mothers drive way to see her again, i can never ask her for advice ever again, and for the rest of my life i mourn the loss a life taken too early.
to the becica's my heart goes out to you because you too are mourning the lost of a man that u will never see again, ur howdie will never be the same. am sorry for that and i can't imagine the pain your family is going through i can only imagine my own.
i love you mom!!!
Sara

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 11:59am

let me start by saying my heart goes out to her family.. it is a sad time. we will never under stand " why " .. i am the cousin of Howdy. nothing i can say will change what happend or take away the pain.. her family is going through.. i can't express the pain i feel for the family... as for our side of the family.. howdy is a good person.. and he will have to live w/this for the rest of his life. as we will too. because family help's each other through theese times. i sit here and read all the hatefull thing's people have to say. and it tear's my heart out. how mean people can be.. i was thinking if it was the other way around. . alot of people wold have good thing's to say about him .yes people do make mistake's..and some of the thing's some of you are saying. "NO ONE IS PERFECT" and i'm sure almost certn't u all have made chioces that wern't good but just didn't get cought.. just because your choice didn't cause the same out come dosen't mean it was ok.. because u didn't end a life.. but you don't know if you were to turn you radio station,or anwser you'r cell phone or looking in the mirrow could cause the same damage so think about that the next time your driving and you go to do one of them... and their are alot of what if's.. but their is only one person who can awnser the ?'s we all have.. so hopfully people will try and thank their higher power for what they have and not take it for granted . and remember life ie to short and u nver know what lies ahead.. may everyone involved w/both sides of the family's work together and help them get through this.. my heart and prayer's go out for all...w/love kat xoxo

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 11:46am

Everyone needs to stop pointing fingers about who's to blame. The most important thing to remember, is that it has happened...nothing can be changed so now it's time to comfort both families involved in the tragedy. Accidents happen, nobody was killed intentionally...some posters have been carrying on like it was a premeditated murder. I know you might be upset...but results are official....nothing is set in stone and like many posters have said before, its still under investigation. My heart goes out to those involved...and those first on scene who had to witness this tragedy. (neighbors and police/fire/ems)

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 11:18am

I just need to say that I am truly sorry about this tragedy. Denise, James and all four of her children are very close to me. I was with Denise for at least 3 hours prior to her accident. I love her and will miss her dearly. I would like for her four children to know that I am here for them.

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 9:23am

Harold Becica was at a Beef & Beer at the Town Bank Fire House in the afternoon and then went to the Bayshore & Jakes. So if alcohol wasn't a factor what caused him to cross the center line. If he fell asleep at the wheel and caused the crash there are very stiff penalties and jail time for killing someone in this manner also. How fast was he really going to cause the destruction that was caused to Denise and her truck. In my eyes this was more than a 40 or 50 MPH impact.

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 7:45am

I am the sister of Harold Becica. First of all I am thankful that my brother is alive. Because it could have been the other way around. second and most importantly my heart grieves for the family of this woman, I am a mother and could not even begin to fathom the grief that this family is going through. My heart is broken for her children as is my brothers. He is emotionally distraught over this. And yes he will have to live with this the rest of his life. Please understand our family is not trying to minimize the pain of Denise's family,we too are dealing with a different pain. My brother is a very kind person and would never intentionally hurt another human being, he is a very emotional person and cares deeply for children. This will be very hard on him over the coming weeks. As I'm sure it will be doubly hard on Denise's family. Please join in with us and offer up your prayers for her familyI also ask that you pray for my brother as he comes to terms with this. Thank You

FRIEND TO THE END
A very sad day for me to hear of the terrible and tragic accident that has claimed the life of one of my oldest and dearest friends. My dear friend Denise Cianchetta May god rest your soul Denise! James and Denise can only be labeled as true friends to the end for me. I and my family are all so sad to hear of this tragedy. I know that his angels have carried her to be in a wonderful place. Denise and James have been my most dearest of friends for more then 20 years.
I remember she loved the group styx and would like to play this song by them for her now, I think she would have liked this.
COPY&PASTE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BARLfUmyBJA

She was the kind of person that can only be called real and true. She was out going and responsible and fun to be around. She pulled no punches with you. She kept things straight with you, as she thought of them, even if it pissed you off. You could count on her to give you an honest answer to how she felt about what ever the situation was. As a friend to the end!! Never has there been a closed door and never without hand to help you with. She carried this quality well and I have felt nothing but respect for her having these unique and valuable gifts of heart. You cannot find this kind of quality in people these days, god has only taken one of the best for his ranks once again. I have always known Denise to be a very strong true, decent and caring person. Very dedicated to her family and not with standing her friends whenever possible. We must now remember these Qualities and strengths and use them as she has, to carry on through her passing, Just as she has helped us to carry on through ours time and time again This will be a time of reflection for us and I want people to know how much courage, strength and hope that this woman carried and placed into me.
A friend to the end!!
Ironically 20 years ago to this month, On Nov 6, 1988 Denise was with me when my first child Christopher suddenly past at 7 months old. Me and Kathy felt so helpless and destroyed. We wrote off Christmas and said we would not celebrate but to our amazement one day, we found Denise was in our living room decorating a Christmas tree that she brought over and said that she was not going to witness any friends of hers doing away with Christmas!! Can you believe the courage? The heart? The strength? We have only survived through her kind of compassion of life and respect for god and all his families. She has only displayed courageous and selfless acts among her family and friends.
A friend to the end!
We will miss you dearly Denise.
So I feel that god would only have taken her now because he knows she has completed giving all her strengths and values so that we may have them to carry on through her passing as she would have to help us carry through ours. To Denise’s family,
James and children and various other friends that have known her as I have,
Remember mom now as your strength in heaven and do as she would, be strong and carry on. GOD BLESS
With deepest sympathy and Love always
your friend to the end,
TOUGH T (TOMO)

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 12:26am

wow! Boy! Isnt the public horrible!!! Thats what this world is all about! pre-judging people, got to always say something about everything! Dont have NO DAMN RESPECT! cant people mind their own business and have a little love in their hearts! for christ SAKES people! the public is so immature. First of all it was an ACCIDENT! They happen!! who cares about whos fault it was! Its done!! it happened! Now What!! Have some remorse, cooth, sympathy!! i was Denises best friend in the late 80s. I havent seen her in years but i will miss her being in this world. she is now an angel up in heaven and may god be with her family. Its hard to believe that this happened, very shocking news, maybe now people can see how much life is a gift and to appreciate each and every day,and loved ones, cuz you never know when its your time, we shouldnt hate and disrespect and pre judge, instead, we sholud respect people and appreciate life and have a little bit of love in our hearts, for the living and the dead! May Denise rest in peace and her soul be free as a white Dove..........KMDP my deepest deepest regards to Tuff T's Family.

Tue, 11/18/2008 - 12:19am

The police will determine who was at fault and all of that, but what does it really matter at this point? Denise has passed and another is in the hospital. All my prayers go to James and Denise's kids. She was a good person with a huge heart. Everyone should stop debating fault and alcohol involvemet. That will all come out in the police report. Concentrate on the important things and that is the family that Denise left behind. Help them deal with this situation and do whatever we can as a community to assist them.

Mon, 11/17/2008 - 11:19pm

Maybe he'll watch the road if the police are dumb enough to allow him to keep his license. .owever nothing will replace the loss. If he had passed I think a lot of people would just say..tough shit. I know the older son and he's a mess so maybe he can get into another car accident, if he's allowed to keep his license, maybe he'll be the unlucky one?

Mon, 11/17/2008 - 10:22pm

I HAVE THE FACTS AND THEY ARE THAT HAROLD (HOWDY) DID NOT AND I REPEAT DID NOT HAVE ANY ALCOHOL IN IS BLOOD!! THE RESULTS CAME BACK WITH NO ALCOHOL IN HIS BLOOD!!!! NOW CAN PEOPLE MOVE ON AND GET TO WHAT IS IMPORTANT. ONE FAMILY LOST A LOVED ONE AND ANOTHER FAMILY LOST THE SOUL OF THE PERSON THEY KNEW. I DON'T THINK PEOPLE NEED TO BE PUTTING IN ALL THE HEAR SAY THAT IS GOING AROUND TOWN. WE ALL KNOW THAT THIS A SMALL AREA AND EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYONE OR THEY KNOW SOMEBODY THAT KNOWS THAT PERSON. I KNOW HOWDY, HE IS A NICE, SWEET SENSITIVE MAN THAT HAS NEVER HURT ANYONE IN HIS LIFE AND HE BY NO MEANS MEANT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. HE IS DEVASTATED BY THIS JUST AS ANY PERSON WITH FEELINGS WOULD BE. WHEN THE INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETE THEN PEOPLE CAN CRITICIZE BUT UNTIL HAVE SOME COMPASSION FOR THE FAMILIES.

Mon, 11/17/2008 - 10:13pm

its a ashame what happened that night. my thought go out to the Cianchetta family... but i am a member of the becica family and i know that harold feels bad for what happened that night and he has to live with this every day of his life. everyone has a family no one is different a lost hurts everyone it crosses its life it happendsevery single day... if they both were to smell of alcohol than what makes it right for one to be in the wrong and rot in jail and she made the same mistake as him then shes in the wrong to but being harold has a higher truck than her and made the collison worse..... oh and by the way harold didnt have and liqour in his system

Mon, 11/17/2008 - 9:40pm

im just going to say that im soo happy that harold survivedd he has a 18 girl and a family that loves him but im verry sad is that she died i feel so bad and i wish i could have stoped it from hapening

i am family to Harold Becica and what i think is that people make mistakes and i guess they both made one at the wroung time and i think that god said it was her time. i know alot of people are sad and i am to but i dont think he should rott in jail i think he should go to jail for a few years and then come home and not have his lisence for 5 years. but they both smelled of liquer so they both should have been punished but she didnt survive.<{3

To the person that called Numpty a degenerate scumbag, you must be unfortunate enough to either know him or have been screwed over by him in the past. I can't tell you how many times someone asked me if I knew him because of the shared last name. When I would tell them, "That's my brother", they would all get the same look on their faces.

Boy, do I wish that people would stop spelling lose "loose"!!! So many people do this. Where is the problem? It's really not that hard of a word but yet so many manage to screw it up.

EVERYONE! Here it is very simple..."If it look like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, Its a duck! If the driver was walking like a drunk, talking like a drunk, and obviously driving like a drunk, Duh, hey was drunk! Seriously, whether it was 12:05 noon, or 12:005 midnight, he was wrong, he should of not been driving drunk. Also, if he had nothing to worry about, then why did he refuse a breathalizer test? Isnt that obvious? The man or should I say coward should loose his liceense and all other privledges forever, before he really kills someone. My hat is off to the girls and the mom's who are standing tall and strong. May God Bless you all.

It's traitor you ***.

The brother showed his mentality by stating Don should be referred to as Numpty?? Are you kidding me, what a jerk. I hope the girls are ok.

I don't know any of the parties involved. It is a shame what happened. As far as Michael Hayes goes, I would rather know a drunk then a scumbag trader brother. You should stop worrying about your brother and get the help YOU need.

I think we should keep it going right up to the day Mr. Hayes is sentenced so we don't forget that drunk drivers can kill people.
