I worked with Chester for 4 years in Corpus Christi at Bill Miller Associates. I was just out of college and this was my first experience working in an engineering office. I have great memories of Chester. He taught me a lot about the industry and helped me hone good work habits and to take pride in what i do. It's been close to 30 years since I last saw the man, but he helped shape the life I lead. Chester, you will remain in my heart always. Rest in peace

I am deeply saddened to learn, just this very day, of Chester's recent passing. I worked with Chester for several years when we were both employed by Bill Miller Associates,
a local Mechanical/Electrical Engineering firm owned by William K. (Bill) Miller. I will always remember Chester as a man of good moral character, professionalism, and devotion to his work and family. My sincere condolences to his wife, children, and grandchildren.

As Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I am sincerely thankful for his valiant service in defense of our rights and freedom.
His commitment to family, friends, our community, and to serving our great nation leaves a wonderful legacy. May the love and the wonderful memories you shared with him help you when you need it most. He will never be forgotten, and your family will be remembered in my prayers.
