Uncle Chester truly lived an interesting life. I will remember him as gentle, positive, and good-natured. His love for, devotion to, and pride in his family, particularly his grand- and great-grandchildren was always evident; he loved to share stories about the wonderful people they are the the wonderful things they were doing. Mary pray for him.
