  Chet here is your first bike , I remember your mom and dad weren't too thrilled you got a bike, especially after that old lady parked on your back seat while you were at a red light. Will miss riding with you,

  If I could choose one guy to be in a foxhole with it would have been Chet. Lots of memories. Take a deep breath and rest well my fellow 12th street Vulture & South High Oriole. Peace...........

  A bible scholar once opined that when God called Abraham His friend,He bestowed upon him the highest honor! Chester was a great friend,he had many,he touched many,but,as he told me at least fifty times,his mother was his best friend! What a beautiful tribute from a loyal,loving,and always available son. I love you my man,I will miss you less when I'm able to visualize you in the Lord's presence,and back in your mother's arms,until we meet again💚💙💕 Jack O'Connor

  My deepest condolences and sympathies to Molly and Mark! I have great memories of Chester when we both attended South high school and played ball together. It was more than just football, it was a friendship. The Ciak family was always kind to me and I have fond memories of them, I will never forget that the rest of my life. May Chet rest in peace, he was a great guy and will be missed! -Joe Augustine

  Chet here's your first bike , I remember your Mom and dad weren't too thrilled when I sold it to you, we had some good rides brother, until that old lady decided to park in your back seat while you were at a red light. But you got back in the saddle. Now brother you can ride like the wind

  Chet hunting will never be the same without you , from blowing off school on Fridays and archery hunting to getting lost on a mountain in tionesta and my dad getting ready to call out a search party looking for us because we came in five hours after dark . To hunting in the woods behind your house. Then coming and making you breakfast with the venison you just took and practicing shooting in your backyard yard while duke and Milo were running around even our dogs were brothers. Chet when I'm out in the woods this season send a ten point my way . What I wouldn't give for one more hunt with you. 💔😢 I love you Chet
