Dear Chester’s Family,

I will miss my monthly phone calls from Chester. He would call me just to sound off about the company and job that he loved so that he could carry on another month. Chester was a valuble memeber of our team and you should be very proud of his accomplishments in ensuring safety at sea and support of a strong navy. We all owe him our gratitude. My deepest sympathies.

Chester was a great person who left us far too soon. I personally always looked forward to working with Chester as he was not only an outstanding service engineer, but also a friend whose company I enjoyed. Rest in Peace.

I had the pleasure of working with Chester and meeting him on his training visits to Charlottesville. He was always a delight, kind, and a joy to spend time with. He was super intelligent and an amazing compliment to the Sperry Marine team. May God bless the family he leaves behind, the friends who knew him and may His great love give comfort as you go through the days ahead. Peace be with you Chester – you leave quite a legacy!

Chester was a true professional in demeanor and in his profound knowledge of the products he represented.

Whenever the going got really tough Chester was the “GO TO”

guy. It has been a real pleasure knowing and working with Chester over the past few years.

He’s the example to follow and will be sorely missed.

I was able to work with Chester over a period of two years and found him to be one of the old school guys who loved the job. My trip with him last year to Alaska was a benefit to me and one I will not forget.

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I’ve only known Chester for 8 months but I am so honored we crossed paths. Chester is one of the best engineers I’ve worked with over my many years in the marine industry. Chester has earned a long list of happy customers who request him and only him by name. Chester will be sorely missed. My deepest symphathy to Chester’s family. May God bless and comfort each of you during this very difficult period. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Chester will be missed by so many that had the pleasure of knowing him as a loving and caring son, husband, father, grandfather and good friend,

My time spent with Chester, at the Kent Sperry office, will always be remembered as working with a gentlemen who cared for his co-workers and customers.

And of course, I will always remember the laughter when Betty, his children and grandbabies came into the office. Best was when Betty bought in her famous Pies!!!

You will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you.

I am still getting over the shock of losing Chester. He was truly a joy to work with. I will miss him both as a co-worker and as a friend. He was laid to rest, yesterday. I am sure that by now he is up there looking for a ship to fix.

I do not have the words to describe how I feel at the passing of my great friend Chester. He was an inspiration, a teacher, a helper but most of all he was a true friend. We often talked about getting together for dinner with our wives, but for one reason or another we never followed through…and I will forever regret that. I feel honored to have been included as his friend and I will remember him throughout the remaining days of my life. Rest In Peace my brother.
