My thoughts and prayers are with all of Chet's family. I loved his phone calls to Evans. He always had a great story to share. He spoke of his granddaughter and taking her to horse shows often. He would also talk about when he got C&K Insulation started. Chet was a wonderful, hard-working man. I will miss hearing his voice on the phone.
