I want to send my condolences to the family of Chester Pala… Chester was such a kind and wonderful man… He was my General Foreman at work during the earlier part of my career and every interaction I had with him was pleasant… he treated me very well and I always enjoyed talking with him. I know he will be sorely missed by all… my heart goes out to you all! - Mike DeSantis

Sincere sympathy to Jean and to her and Chester’s families. Chester was a genuinely good guy. Good family man, remarkable musician, gentleman and friend. My cousin!! Fun to be around. Always “lit up the room” when he walked in. He’ll be missed in Polish music circles. He was popular, well liked and truly unique!!!! Will pray for him!!!
