Greg, Sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I know he had to be a great man because you’re a great person as well. I’ll be thinking of you.

Uncle Chester was always there for the extended family no matter what the occasion, he will be missed by all that had the privilege to have known him. My deepest sympathies to Greg and Carol.
Sorry to hear this he was a wonderful man took great care of his family
I remember Uncle Chester through my childhood years, he was so much fun. I would go with my parents (Philip and Lori Wade) to visit him and Aunt Dorcas, I loved seeing all his flowers that he planted…I remember all the family get togethers out at my Mommaw and Popaws (Anna Lou and Jesse Wade)…it’s hard to believe they are all gone, but I rejoice in knowing that Uncle Chester is now in Heaven with Aunt Dorcas and Patty and all his brothers and sisters and his parents…I miss you all.
I truly loved Chester, spend a lot of time with him. He will forever be missed..
