Memories and Condolences
for Chester Okray
February 3, 2010
To My Dear Aunt Millie and My Special Cousins, Carolyn, Wayne and Lori,
Uncle Chettie was so dear to me. I am going to miss him very much. I'll never forget when he use to walk across the street to our house in Brown Deer and bring us carrot muffins and wonderful rolls from the bakery. He would always have a beer, well maybe more then one beer with Bert and play with my dog and my kids and just enjoy life. He enjoyed the simply things in life like taking a blade of grass and tickling you behind the ear and then he would get that sneaky smile on his face which I so loved and will miss. I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Chettie that I could go on and on. As he said he lived a good long life and we are fortunate to have him in our lives for so many years. He will be deeply missed. I hope by the comfort of family and friends each day will become alittle easier for all of you. I love all of you so much and am glad that we stayed so close to each other for all these years. Our energizer bunny is now in heaven.
Love,
Mary and family

Millie and Family,
Trips up north will not be the same without Chet but his spirit lives on in Kyle and Gregory. Their love of fishing and the outdoors had a lot to do with the time he spent with them. All of his grandchildren were lucky to have him as a grandpa! I will never forget Chet watching Donna and I row the boat up north and just laughing. Memories like that last a lifetime. He was a kind and patient man who will be missed dearly. I am so blessed to have known him. May God bless your family in your time of sadness.
Sincerely,
Dawn and Scott Heibler
