Sharon,
I'm sorry to here Chet has pass on, I just found out at the last meeting. Chet was a great ELK. I enjoyed talking with him about the hunting club he belonged to. Everyone that knew Chet liked him and never had a bad word for him and Chet always had a good word for everyone. He will be missed but not forgotten.

I vividly remember Chet from my own little league days at J Ralph Ingalls, when after a ball game, Chet always handed out ice cream to the players and asked about the game. Chet knew how to do things the right way and treated people they way people should be treated. My condolences to the family.
