We were neighbors of Chets on North Landon Ave in Kingston. We adored him and Harold and Doris. They treated us like family when we moved in next door and my young daughters loved to sit on their porch and talk with them. They always had popsicles for my girls. We will always remember Chet and his brother and sister fondly.

We were lucky enough to be neighbors with Chet, Harold and Doris for 5 years. The kindest people we've ever known. They were the first people to see our daughters when we brought them home from the hospital for the first time. I used to love to hear the stories of a little town called Mildred. I still have a weed puller Chet gave me to dig out dandelions. He was a great man. I was lucky to have known him.
