It saddens me to hear about the passing of Chet. Chet was a good & loving husband & father. In my youth our families used to visit often and share good times together. My condolences to Jo Krol and the whole Krol family. God Bless.

Jo, Lori & Eric, Chet Jr and families. I only knew Chet for a very short time but he was a very sweet man and had a friendly hello for me when I would see him at my office. Jo is such a dear and I am sending her warm thoughts and prayers for her comfort and healing during this difficult time. Lori and Eric, please let us know if you need anything we will do our best to be there for you and your family. Sending much love and prayers.

Aunt Jo, Lori, Chet Jr, and your wonderful families. We are sorry for your loss and our loss. There can not have been a better Godfather for me. He was always there for me as I grew up, at our wedding and we were honored as he was able to make it to our 25th wedding anniversary. We saved the phone message left by Uncle Chet saying he and Aunt Jo would be there with "bells on". Uncle Chet and Dad took me for my first "hunting trip", looking for pheasants we were at least glad we found some old apples laying on the ground that put on a stump of the tree made for good target shooting. Uncle Chet got me a special bottle of Canadian Club on my 18th birthday to save for special occasions, I think this qualifies, Na Zdrowie Uncle Chet. Those who knew Uncle Chet and me knew we had a special Polish saying we would use when seeing each other, I think it is appropriate here. "Pan-z-wami" Uncle Chet "Iz duchem twoim". Aunt Jo, Lori, Chet Jr. and family, you have our good thoughts and prayers, Love, Michael and Brenda Bialaszewski
