Our thoughts are with the family.
It has been a privilage to know a very fine man.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. I Darrell had the pleasure of working with “Chet” at the Boeing Company.
Sincerely, Darrell and Fran Corbett
Chet was my supervisor at Boeing on the Advanced Tactical Fighter program in 1987-1989. We both enjoyed working on this state of the art fighter and developing new methods and technologies to manufacture the composite structure. He was a good boss and a good man and he will be missed at our monthly retiree lunches. God’s blessings be with his family as they mourn his passing.
Sorry that we couldn’t attend the service. Chet was a very
inteligent and ambitious work companion. I am glad that I was able to spend time with him.
I know that we all miss my father, for myself it has been a difficult time. The last few years we had became very close as we fought the battles of his aging together. Now he is at peace and he would want us to remember him by doing the best we can in our lives, by sharing kindness and love to others, and to smile when we hear his name
He was a sweet and dignified man and he will be missed greatly. Thank you for giving JP staff and myself the opportunity to get to know and enjoy him in the last adventure of his life. My thought and prayers go out to you and your families in this time of lose.
