Although I only knew Chet for a short time, he was one of the kindest men I have ever met. It was an honor and privilage to know him

I will never forget Mr. Quickel. He visited his wife every day at the nursing home, and was always so tender and loving towards her, even as her memory worsened. He was a once in a lifetime soul. He is no doubt very happy to be reunited with his wife, and is surely looking down on his family. God Bless
