Dollie, Doug and Aaron, I was so shocked to hear of Chester's passing. Charlie and I had so many fun times together, especially at the principals conferences each summer. The quiet Chester was always a partner in the pranks that were directed toward Dewitt House. Dollie, I know the grandchildren have added much joy to your life and I am sure special memories of their granddaddy will always be a source if joy for them in years to come. Know my prayers are with you during this difficult ...

Enjoyed working with Chester at Clinchco Elementary School. He was well liked by students and faculty. (A good man)

Chester always had a smile on his face and gracious words to speak. He and Dollie made a perfect couple as they complimented each other in so many ways. Their sons are examples of their hard work and relationship with God. Praying for peace and comfort at this difficult time for the family and always know that you are loved and respected.

A good man whom I came to know through my brother-in-law, Jim Sledd, and his wife, Dollie, who my wife volunteered to assist when our kids were at Breckenridge. Love to all and thanks be to God for a life well-lived.

Coach Adams “Flintstone” was my Study Hall teacher, my Volleyball coach and also a family friend. Coach Adams not only coached me but he also coached my brother. Coach Adams was such an awesome teacher and coach and he always made sure we as student athletes stayed the course and did what we were supposed to do. A great man has been called home. Mrs. Dollie, Doug, and Aaron I send my deepest condolences and prayers to you all during this time.
