He was also a member of the Elks, and they both enjoyed dancing and folk dancing. Chet loved hunting, fishing, boating, hiking, and skiing. In retirement, Chet took up oil painting on canvas. His beautiful paintings adorn several family members’ homes. He loved his family dearly and they enjoyed many adventures traveling together. He and Mary had several RV’s during his lifetime and took many trips. They had one extended trip around the entire country. Chet loved the Lord, loved his family, and loved life. His family takes comfort in knowing that he is safe in the arms of his Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. He will be deeply missed.
