Praying fervently for your family during this time of your loss. It is sorrowful enough when God calls someone home and it is expected however when our loved one leaves unexpectedly it tears our heart apart. Take solace in knowing that Chet is with our Savior fellowshipping with Him. May God bless your family and send His comforting angels to all that knew and loved Chet.

My sincere condolences to Chet´s family & love ones. I had the privilege of meeting Chet through my husband, a fellow golf fanatic who tee´d it up with Chet. Chet was always a bright & warm spirit to be around. We saw Chet last summer when visiting Detroit & that joyful visit will be a cherished memory.
