So sorry for your loss. I know he will be missed so very much, but knowing he is heaven now is such a blessing. Chester and Maxine were so inspirational to us when we were new Christians. I'm sure he and Amel II are having a joyful reunion. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Maxine,
I am in tears. I am so sorry to see that Chet is gone. I remember the storm and how he was out there after just having surgery trying to keep people from getting hurt. He was an amazing man who I loved and admired very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.
