Chester was truly a kind and genuine individual. His love and admiration for his family was second to none. He had a smile that would light up a room and a great sense of humor to go along with it. You knew when he was around, you were going to have a good time.
Chester was a top-notch musician and was the lead trumpet player of the Pala Brothers Orchestra. He not only expressed his love of Polish heritage through his music, but also with his spirit of liking, the Polish brandy "Jezy"!
