Chester was born September 1, 1932 in Sample, Texas to Kasper Anton and Pauline Pawlik Lyssy. Chester worked for Goad Boles Motors, Goad Motor Co. and Wilkinson Pontiac GMC as Parts Manager for over 50 years. During that time many of his loyal customers became lifelong friends.

He enjoyed helping his children with their 4-H and FFA projects, cars, hunting, traveling, raising cattle and shredding the pasture with his tractor. He loved to repair things and there was nothing he could not fix. Over the years, Chester and wife Ora traveled to many exciting places all over the world. He loved the all you can eat buffets on cruises! After his wife Ora passed away, he continued enjoying traveling with his second wife, Doris, whom he was married to for ten years.
