For me, a guy that doesn't make friends easily, I remember Chet as being one of the guys that I could talk to.

I was trying to get a hold of Chet via Facebook. We were classmates during our final semester at CIA. We were good friends and wanted to see an old classmate after so many years. But I remember Chet because we became good friends. I am sorry not having been able to meet with him. My condolences go out to his family.

Toni,
So very sorry for your loss. I spoke to Chet just days before he passed as we spoke of his Dad and all we were trying to do to make Chet senior comfortable. It was my pleasure to know Chet since were small boys together and he will be missed. If I can ever be of any assistance you know you can call on me.

Toni,
I knew Chet from high school. He was also a good friend to my brother, Frank, who also went to the Culinary and who is also now in heaven. I have recently been in touch with Rob and as I understand your family has just gone through the loss of Chet's mom not too long ago. I will keep you all in my prayers that your will find strength and peace during these difficult times. God bless you.
With deepest sympathy,
Joanne Pisaturo McCreery
