I worked out at 84 Fitness Center for many years. Each time Chet and I were there at the same time, we always had a nice chat. What a bright and kind guy! Please find some comfort in the fact that I so enjoyed knowing Chet. Blessings go you.

My deepest condolences to Chet’s family. Chet was a great guy I had the honor of knowing. We worked at WQED together. May God cover the family with grace and mercy during this difficult time. Rest with God.

I really enjoyed working with Chet at WQED, he was fun/funny. He recruited me to play on his softball teams and we had great times. I don't know whether to say he was compassionate about his softball or just a maniac. I really enjoyed my times with him. RIP friend.

Wow guys just found out do not know how I missed it. Chet, Brett, Mz Toni and everyone else my deepest Condolences. Chet got me started in Softball with Wright's Methodist Church and I still play Today. Cannot Imagine the Number of games we played together. And the Friend that he became. I am very sorry I missed his service. I am very sure of one thing he is Playing Softball, Talking Football, and Lifting Weights in Heaven with all his new Buds and still calling them Rummies. He was and will remain an awesome guy. May he rest in the Arms of God and Perpetual Light Always Shine Upon his Face. A toast to You Chet. Nostrovia My Friend. Michael Obringer
