Chester and Betty organized wonderful bus trips for our "Old Gang". We all sure had such fun times together! Chet will be greatly missed. I'm sure Chet and my Stas' are lighting up Heaven with their joking around. My love and prayers to Betty. May the Holy Spirit comfort you and give you peace.

Chester was a grace filled man with the heart of a lion and a Rodney Dangerfield sense of humor. Chester lived and loved life to the fullest with his loving and loyal wife Betty. They were one. When we came together for the holidays relatives always asked are Chester and Betty coming. When In 1970 when I was 16 years old, Chester gave me his Silver Mercury Comet. Chester was a generous and compassionate man. Chester loved slipping a joke into the conversation. He would catch you off guard and sometimes had to tell us, I'm joking. There will never be a more loving or loyal wife then Betty. When she said for better or worse, she meant it. The care Betty gave Chester was incredible. Another person who went above and beyond the call of duty was Tom Chagin. Tom was a great help to Chester and Betty. Chester and Betty knew they could count on Tom. Tom Chagin has one flaw, He doesn't know how to say no or I'm too busy. It was a blessing to be related to Chester.
