Dear Janice, Shirley & Elizabeth,
I am very saddened to hear of the loss of your dad. He was such a great man and touched many hearts. I always tried to visit your mom & dad whenever I was back home, he was proud of his license plate collection & he loved those Buicks. I can remember as a kid he showed up on Xmas day after a snowstorm in his white 4 door Buick with my present, I am very honored & proud to call your mom and dad my godparents. Such great memories & he will always be remembered & never be forgotten. RIP my Uncle Chet.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Chet's passing. We were fortunate to have lived next door to your parents for forty seven wonderful years and we will always cherish the memories and good times we all had together. They always called me Georgie. God be with them both.
