There are people in this world that you meet and fall in love with, and Chester was one of those.  I meet him and Dorothy when I worked with Chester at Texas Instruments.  I lost touch with him when my mom got sick shortly before Chester past.  It was a long haul with my mom, and I regret that I didn't get to say goodbye to Chester.  I will, however, always cherish the time we had with him and his family and our visits to Bryan on the ranch.  He always had great advice for me, and I always thought of him as an adopted father.  Farewell my friend, see you on the other side.   

Chester and I worked together and shared many lunches at Texas Instruments in Austin. He was one of those folks that you take a quick liking to because of his big smile and firm handshake. I always thought he had a lot of gumption to plant himself (a Longhorn) right in the middle of Aggie territory, but that's the kind of guy he was. He knew what he wanted and made it happen. I think Vivian would second that... He's one tall Texan that I'll never forget!
