Too sad .. R.I.P Chester

I appreciate the phone call tonight from Smitty, or I would have missed this thread--

More recent photo from the H-400 last year. Chester was always a pleasure to cross paths with or get an unexpected phone call from. He enjoyed life and was always on the move. Regret I didn't get to go fishing with him-- I think he knew some great places.

Here is a picture of two of my favorite people. This was at EOM at Lewisburg W.V. in 2007. STLFJR (Steve) was kind enough to send me this picture.

There is a more detailed Obituary posted now in the Kansas City paper at https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/kansascity/obituary.aspx?pid=173159277

Smitty and I will be driving over to KC on Sunday for the visitation. I believe Petey is going to join us there as well. We will be sure to extend our condolences to Chester's family from everyone here at the forum. It will be nice for them to know that Chester had so many friends in the motorcycling community that will miss him.

I had talked to Chester this past summer, as he and I were going to meet up at EAA Airventure in Oshkosh back in July. Unfortunately, as sometimes happens with Chester balancing his accounting practice with his adventures, he got held up and had to postpone, so we missed each other. I really regret that I did not get to see him then.

Chester, you were a good man and you will be missed. May God rest your soul my friend.

Thanks Steve for posting that obituary. It's good of you guys to head over to the funeral. Chester was one of the good guys...

If I remember correctly, Chester was in the Air Force, and I think/not entirely sure/ that he worked with the Missile Forces in some capacity.

You are correct Wheatie, Chester did serve in the US Air Force.

Sounds like someone I would've liked to have met this go around... sending warmest thoughts and condolences to those who did know him and hope that you continue to carry him with you in your hearts and spirits.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Chester just the one weekend at the Hooterville ride '11. Seemed like the kind of guy I would have liked to have known better.

R.I.P. Chester
