Dear Sue & family, I'm glad I chatted with Chester week before he
passed away & to tell him what a good friend he had been since
we met while he was attending the UW. Even at a young age, he
was always thoughtful & caring. When daughter Lydia was selling
Camp Fire cookies, he delighted her by buying 6 boxes. It left a
lasting impression with us of his quiet generosity. We will miss him.
Love, Jing & Lydia

So sad to hear the news.
Thankful to your hospitality we received when we were new comers to US from Japan as engineering rep for JAL at Boeing. We all miss your smile and friendly spirit.

My condolences to the family.
I worked with Chet at Boeing from 1977 to 1995 on the 747 Automatic Flight Controls and electronics and wiring. He was an excellent engineer and a very friendly person who took the time to work out problems and be helpful to other engineers as a great team player. He was one of the very best respected engineers at Boeing and set a good example to others. I sure enjoyed the honor of working with him.
