Thank you Jamie. I love you.
Our deepest condolences ❤️. You are in our thoughts during this difficult time.

My condolences and deepest sympathies to the Gajda family. I worked with Chester at the Sears Hicksville store from 1987-1995. I have wonderful memories of the those years. Lots of laughs, love and barbecues. Agnes made the best potato salad.
Sending you my prayers and love.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the wonderful family and friends of this incredible man. Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. Always an extreme pleasure to talk with when met on several occasions through the many years with his warming charm and witty humor.
With Sympathy, Bill & Karin Appel
Mark, Patty & Family,
