I got to know Chester through work as an Attorney for our Company, but became very close to him over the last 25 years...He was an awesome human being and will be greatly missed by all..We had many chats about his Arkansas football team and my OU football team and just talked about them on Friday...He was more than an Attorney for our Company, he was a friend and someone we could always rely on...He has left a large hole in our hearts. Rest in Peace Chester!

Dearest Janie, i am remembering your meeting and dating that handsome, older law school student when we were at the UofA. He was quite a catch, as you were too, and you two had a good and long life together. Sending you, Catherine and Mitchell et al my deepest sympathy and all my love. Susan
