We loved Uncle Chet! From my earliest memory he was my favorite uncle! It was always uplifting just to be in his presence! We were always wanting to hear another story (because he told them so well) from this ultimate gentleman. He has left us with a ton of wonderful memories and we are extremely grateful to have shared a little part of his life. Our warmest regards and love to this beautiful family!

We loved Uncle Chet! From my earliest memory he was my favorite uncle! He was always smiling and just being in his presence was uplifting. What a ton of great memories (and stories) this ultimate gentleman has left us. Our warmest regards and love to this beautiful family.

We are sorry we didn't get to see him one more time. We were planning for it in January. He was a great man and a great friend. Our love goes out to all of his extended family.
