He later went on to marry Lisa on December 22, 1972, where they spent nearly fifty years of marriage at the time of his death. They had one daughter, Amy, who was his pride and joy and his "Sidekick". He then went on to have two beautiful granddaughters, Autumn and Mady, who became the light of his life. He cherished his time with his family and loved them so very deeply. Chester was an avid horseman. He loved to ride horses and camp with friends. The Clay Farm was a second home to him for much of his life. He was also passionate about raising and hunting beagles. His friends, who were much like family to him, grew by hundreds over his seventy years. Chester was always the life of the party, the jokester, but also kind and giving, always with a smile on his face. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it. He was a lifetime supporter of Caring Hearts benefit and always attended their annual ride and fundraiser. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
