Stephen R. Chesler

Dear Jill and Family:
I just learned about the untimely
passing of Steve. I cannot tell you how sorry I was to hear this news. Steve was a remarkable man,who so enjoyed life--and brought a very special enthusiasm to his work,family and friends. His parents were great and their legacy had proudly passed to the next generations.

Dear Jill,
We have never met and I only recently reconnected with Steve after over forty years. He was one of those people at Grinnell with whom I always wished I had had more time. It was a great joy to reconnnect by Skype and to contemplate getting together in the coming months. I will miss that and wish to send my profound sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Jill and Family,

We just learned of Steve's passing. He was by far the nicest man in Jo Daviess County. He had a unique presence and contagious smile. It was indeed a pleasure to have called him neighbor. May God Bless you and comfort you with this heavy burden and loss.

Dear Jill, Mark & Matt:

No words can describe the feeling of loosing Steve. As others have mentioned, he practiced law as he led his life-with integrity and enthusiasm. Steve had a strong passion for life that influenced all those around him. His wonderful memories are forever.

Love,

Peter & Judy

I just learned last night that Steve has died. I have known him since my childhood, and we always had a quick and special bond. All of us are lucky to have been associated with him in whatever ways were ours. My deepest condolensces to Jill and his family.

We will miss our dear friend Steve beyond measure. I'm sure he's somewhere chomping on a cigar wondering what all the fuss is about. He was a fantastic human being.

To the Chesler family:
I met Steve 15+ years ago through Jack Schatz, who he was representing as Buyer of a property my father owned in Chicago. Although I was merely the Seller's son(and just new to the R.E.world) Steve treated me with respect, talked to me with interest and sincerity and always made me feel involved. He made an impression on me even to this day. I am saddened to learn of his untimely death. I will remember him each time I pass through Elizabeth on my way to The Galena...

I first met Steve when he was only a photo of an infant on the wall of his father's office. Since then (60 years?)he has been my attorney, my trustee, my friend, and a person I will miss.

Jill...A strong sense of prescence is felt throughout Snipe Hollow! He is in the sunshine and the rain. He will be deeply missed,but always in our hearts. David & Dana Hundrieser
