Chet, like his father, was a big supporter of gun safety and the shooting sports. He taught many people in his early years through hunter’s safety classes and was recently on the board for the West Liberty Gun Club.
Chet enjoyed playing all kinds of games with others, especially his best friends, Daniel, and Catherine Rawers of Hinkley, IL.
