Hi Jeanne, We were surprised when Pastor Karen informed us that Chet was called home my our Lord, My heart goes out to you, Cindy, Clay and family. Chet, what a guy. I have many memories of all the fun we had together, There was dartball going back to about 1980. Back then it was a men's league and now I am the last guy. Golf at Nagawauke, New Berlin Hills, Bull, Black Wolf Run and many more. Chet sure had a nice easy swing. He played "fairway golf", Your friends, Anna & Tom

Aunt Jeanne, Clay, Cindy and families: Paula and I share a part of your sadness in the death of Uncle Chet. He was beloved by our family and was a mentor to me in many ways. He was always patient and kind with us and we remember him fondly. he was a great add to any family gathering with a lot of happy teasing and interesting stories. We will miss him. We rejoice in his homecoming as our Lord and Savior promises. May God comfort all of you at this time.
