Chester grew up with a terrible example of how to be a father, but overcame that to be an excellent parent to his two children. He was generous, caring, had no vices, and may as well have been the inspiration for the phrase “never met a stranger.” He was happiest fishing, hunting, traveling, or changing TV channels until he found a black & white Western.
Chester was preceded in death by his mother, Etta Lee Lewis. He is survived by his wife of 59 years Annette Guidry, his daughter Karen Marie, his son Jesse Remick (Michelle Bourgeois), his grandson Joseph James, and his sisters Linda Monic & Alice-Faye Moore.
In lieu of flowers, his family requests donations in Chester’s name to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research [https://www.michaeljfox.org/donate].
"Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart
until, in our own despair, against our will,
comes wisdom, through the awful grace of God."
- Aeschylus, 458 BC
