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.
