Very fond memories of Father Chester's morning visits to the Rudolph post office where he always had a joke and laughs to share. He impacted and blessed so many people's lives. He will be truly missed but lives on in heaven.

Father Chet was a very interesting priest.

Father Chester was such a blessing to our family! Our dear pastor and friend ... you will be missed so very much. You were a faithful shepherd to our family during your time at St. Anthony's in Loyal. You touched our hearts through your beautiful Christian example, your humor and your songs! We know the heavens have rejoiced as they welcomed you to your eternal home.

Fr. Chester introduced me to Jesus and the Catholic Church when I was a troubled teenager with no knowledge of God or faith. He became my rock, my teacher, and a surrogate "father"to me. I have no idea where I would be today if not for his kind, gentle guidance. God bless this wonderful man. May the gates of Heaven open for him, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

Father Chester married me in 1976 & baptised my oldest child in Loyal WI. It is nice to know I have someone special in Heaven.

Father Chester was a truly inspirational priest. It was so uplifting when he broke out into song where ever he was; St James church or in the community of Vesper. He will be forever in our hearts & memories! God give him eternal rest.

I remember Father Osowski as a very kind & Jovial priest. He was the priest at our daughter's wedding 25 years ago at St. Ladislaus. Joe & I took Father out to eat at The Sky Club in Plover & when Father started telling jokes, all kinds of people came to our table to listen & laugh at his little stories. He will be missed! Sincerely, Elaine & Joe Bunczak, Bevent, Wis.
