My deepest sympathy. I didn't know Chester but I knew his parents from Frackville. We visited them many times. I believe that family has all gone to the Lord. Pasco, Gennaro & Esther Di Romualdo were my first cousins.

Chet was one-of-a-kind sales rep. He made everyone smile and laugh. His personality was infectious and made him so successful. Also recall the kind invites for tailgating at Penn State games. I am sure he is playing a few rounds with Joe Pa in heaven!

Millie,Lori and Mark,
I am so saddened to hear of Chet's passing, and my prayers are with you as you are trying to figure out life without him. Millie, you and Chet were a wonderful part of my growing up memories, whether it was you stopping by for a coffee and a chat at Granny and Pappy's, or me stopping by your tailgates when I was at Penn State. You both had a big impact on my understanding of what it meant to 'love your neighbor' as I saw you love Gran and Pap. Chet was a wonderful man and the world is a little worse off for losing him. With Love, Melanie (Kline) Harding

Mrs D., Mark, and Lori,
My heart aches for all of you today. There are few words to help soften the pain of losing such a wonderful husband, father, and man.
I have so many wonderful memories of our neighborhood. Mr. D. Is a big part of those. He will be remembered as a kind, caring, funny man who always made time for all of us. We have been so blessed to have been touched by him.
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure my Dad will be waiting for him with a beer and a Penn State sweatshirt.
Love to you,
Barb

So many fond childhood memories with DiRomualdos, and Mr D was such a great guy. My heart goes out to the D's and I pray God's love and peace might comfort you at this difficult time. Chet is with Jesus now- no pain, all joy. We rejoice for him, but are sad for all who will miss him.

To the family, Very few sale's reps could match Chet's warm and bright personality. He always spoke very proudly of his family and his love for the Nittany Lions. I guess he will be watching games with Joe Pa in heaven! Thoughts and prayers to all. God Bless, Dr. John Stevens
