My condolences to the family and close friends of 'Uncle Chet'. May the pain of your loss quickly subside through the grace of God and by the knowledge that Chet is most definitely sitting at the foot of God's throne, putting in a good word for all of us.I remember when I was a small child, Uncle Chet seemed so huge to me. But he didn't frighten me like most other large men did, because of his smile and gentle way. I moved away from Illinois early in life and lost contact with Uncle Chet. However, on a recent trip back I believe it was in 2000 during a get together at Don & Jean's house in Divernon, I was sitting on the couch in the family room and I saw this small man with a red nose and the whitest hair approaching me. Uncle Chet must have seen the puzzled look on my face and he reached out his hand to shake mine and said, "You don't know who I am. I'm Chet." We had a good visit and he made me feel like we had been in touch all those years, almost 40, since I had seen him last. He was a jewel to our family and will be greatly missed. I hope to meet him again someday in heaven where I'm sure he'll greet me with "Hi, you don't know who I am. I'm Chet" and then "Welcome"! Laguna Woods, CA US

It is hard to say goodbye to those we love so dearly. But in a strange way they are always beside us to let us know that we are never alone. I remember many good times being around Uncle Chet and it seemed he always had a story….. Uncle Chet was laid to rest on Mom's birthday and I know for one she is listening to those stories! I know he's gone to be with Jesus and serve as one of God's Angels. May he rest in peace and all family members know how many of us hold so many fond memories of our "Uncle Chet".

We just want to convey our condolences to his daughters and their families. We will always treasure the beautiful crucifix he made for us. It is proof of his deep faith in God, and a perfect work of art. He was a very fine uncle, and I am proud to be his niece! Bullhead City, AZ US

I have been praying that the Lord would comfort you during this time. For Carole, Sandra and Faye I pray that your family will be a great comfort to you during this difficult time. As you know we lost our Dad just a little over a year and a half ago. I was amazed at how the Lord gave me comfort through my family. I pray that you will be able to celebrate the good memories of your Dad and that this will be a comfort for you as well. I will continue to pray for you during these coming days. My mom wanted to sign this as well but was having difficulty with her Webtv. I know she is praying for all of you too.Love,Nancy Havener Naperville, IL US

I will always remember Uncle Chet's love for life. Many Sundays mom and dad would pack us in the car and head for Uncle Chet's and Aunt Marg's place. Faye would be waiting for us down at the corner store. We had many wonderful visits there eating potato chips and bologna sandwiches. Uncle Chet was always happy and loved all his relatives and friends. A great woodworker he was and I am glad I have a shelf hanging on the wall that he made. Uncle Chet was so generous to all. I can't make the funeral but will keep Uncle Chet and his family in my prayers.Betty JoBeardstown, IL Beardstown, IL US

Carole, Sandra, and Faye I want to particularly address in my remembrances of your family coming to Missouri to the farm, where we played, walked the creeks all the way to the north barn, talked, and laughed. How I enjoyed those times many years ago when we were all kids. So much has changed since, but you are all in my heart especially at this time, as well as Chet's brother/sister's. I remember a ruddish guy, always jovial, laughing, and taking in the family. I missed him at the last two reunions. I especially regret that I will not be able to attend the funeral due to other family obligations. One neat thing is that my grandson and a granddaughter are receiving their first communion at 1 and 2 respectively Saturday afternoon. I will remember him and his family silently at that celebration. I also pray that the family be consoled, healed, and filled with hope at his Mass. Though I seldom see you, I love each of you, and hope to see you later this year. It is hard to lose those we love, but thier life and ours continues here on earth in those who were touched, and we know that all things are magnified for the good in heaven. Columbia, MO US

To All the Friends and Relatives of Uncle Chet, We know he is in a better place but we sure will miss his kind words, jokes and smiles that he had for all. Pennies from Heaven has a whole new meaning now. Rest in Peace. Rosemead, CA US
