What I remember most about Chester was his hearty laugh. I often think of the time we spent in early morning witnessing, him leading the group faithfully through the dark until the morning light. Rest my brother, see you in the everlasting dawn... "You will rest, but you will stand up for your lot.." Daniel 12:13
