grandpa- a month ago tonight we were gathered at the funeral home to say goodbye... you would never have believed how many people came out to see you. (My guess is that there would have been so much more too, but they couldnt make it) I miss you. I think about you all the time. Christmas just isnt going to be the same without you! I Love You grandpa! Hope you are enjoying Heaven!
Love, Katie Mae

Tammy kluge, you came from one great family and I sure miss you and thank you so much for getting our Tara to Florida, I am sure you will miss Dad but at least all the memories and pictures are there for you and your family to enjoy. I wish that someday we could meet in Eau Claire or Menomonie for coffee and visit. Take care of Mom and enjoy each day that the Lord gives to us. We love you Tammy, Nancy

To the Schoenrock family,
Please know that Chester was a wonderful and caring person. On the November day in 2004 when my wife and I had to choose the marker that would mark the final resting place for our son, Chester was there. He knew how difficult this time was for us and he guided us though the process with kindness and care. Our family has been coming to him and your family for many years for those final markers.
He will be missed by many and was loved.
Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers as November days bring us to Thanksgiving. We are thankful to have known Chester.

Dear Ann, We are saddened at the loss of Ches. We love him very much and are thankful for the happiness and wonderful memories he made for us. We love all of you and miss you very much, it is difficult to be so far away at these times. We will be with all of you in our thoughts and prayers. It helps for me to think that my Dad (Rico) is eagerly waiting in line with others to greet Ches, dealing the cards, and telling some jokes. Please give our love to all.

While growing up with Chester's grand kids Wayne and Carrie, and spending much of my life in the company of the Misgen family, I've had the privilege of coming to know both Chester and Ann through the years. Whether it was crashing at their house when Wayne and I would venture off the the cites, or just stopping in when we were down there for something or another, they always had their door open for us and were the absolute kindest people you could ever meet. Years ago I had the honor of spending a Thanksgiving with the Schoenrock family and it was clearly obvious that the kindness, and generosity Chester and Ann always had, carried it's way down throughout the generations. I have one vivid memory of an email Wayne had sent me a few months back that was a newspaper article of how Chester had donated some grave markers to a Hmong family and how proud Wayne was of his grandpa. I think that that right there says it all of who Chester was. He was a kind, honest, generous, hard working man who loved his family, and always greeted you with a smile. Thanks to Chester, Thanks to Ann, And Thanks to Noel and Diane, I have two of the best friends one could ever ask for. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

I only met Chester twice. The first time was three years ago next Saturday. My mom had just died and my Dad thought very highly of your husband, Dad, Grandpa etc. and he wanted to order my mom's headstone in person from Chester. Chester was very kind to us. He told us that the stone wouldn't be able to be put in until spring. My Dad was bothered by this because he said he wouldn't be around in the spring. Your Dad had a picture printed up of what it would look like. That comforted my Dad. He went home to be with the Lord 4 months later. My Dad said that your Dad was a prince of a guy.

I have been thankful to have had Grandpa Chester in my life for so long. He was a shining example of how so many aspire to live our lives; with much love, generosity, commitment, care, and laughter. He always told all of us in our family how proud of us he was. I feel humbled by that statement and truly see him as the one we are all proud of.....miss you and love you Grandpa. Carrie Ann
