Not sure what to say?

Chet was a really good guy, and a really good mechanic!

Chester lived just a quarter mile down the road from where I grew up. The 1960s was all about hotrods and music it seemed like. Chester had one of the nicest cars of all, a 67 nova supersport four speed. I remember him building the engine with hotrod parts in the old barn with dim lights but with precision. First I ever heard of plastigauge. He was always funny and taught me some words I remember to this day. Overall great guy. May God Bless your soul Chet!

Chester & I first met in kindergarten and we went all the way through high school. He was always a kind soul and loved to laugh and giggle. I lost track of him later in our lives but always tried to get updates on his life. I'm so glad to hear he had a wonderful family and that they have done well. Rest easy old friend. In your photo, you look as good as when we were young. God bless you Chet.

Chet was one of my favorite friends His uncle Bill was my step grandpa. Your achievements are amazing

Tom and I are so sorry to hear of Chet's passing. Know we are thinking of all of you. Chet and Sharon took care of our cars for many years and were always honest and kind people. We were so sad to see them move away but I hope the years have been good to you and your family. God Bless all of you Maybe there will be some things Chet can fix up in heaven.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
