I am Mildred (and Chester´s) granddaughter. My biological grandfathers had passed before I was born, and Chester was the only grandfather I have ever known. With that being said, he was an amazing one. I remember spending lots of time with them as a young kid. He loved his animatronic singing fish, which turned into many animatronic toys. I found The New Testament´s that were given to me by both my grandma and Chester. Years later they are both still missed and loved!

Chester was someone i really looked up to and admired so much, I have a lot of good memories as a child growing up and spending a lot of time at his house while visiting his daughter Alice. Then as an adult admiring him as a true christian man and that he was. To this day the little bible he gave me so many years ago lays on my night stand beside my bed. I am sure he will be sadly missed but his memory will last forever. One of your children.....Jenny (Crabtree)Buccilla

Chester was a good friend to our family. As a child and then an adult, I always looked up to him at HOPE Church. I loved hearing him play his guitar. GOD Bless Him and the Family.
