Chester also held a teaching degree from Sir George Williams University in Montreal, Quebec. He was also Principal and CEO of the K-12 school in Whitedog, Ontario. While at Ross L Gray School in Sprague Manitoba he set up a special needs education program, its first computer lab, and solicited from the government funding for a distance education program.
He will be most remembered for his acts of charity, advocacy for social justice and his personal mission to help the poorest of the poor with his wife at his side. He served as past co-president and volunteer for many years in the frontlines of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP), a cause near and dear to his heart. He was actively involved in his parish for many years serving on committees for Social Justice, Development and Peace, and Refugee Resettlement.
He was an avid reader his entire life often found with a book in hand reading classic literature, poetry, and books on history and politics. He researched and wrote about his family history and later in his life enjoyed reading and analyzing poetry.
In lieu of flowers he wished for donations to be made to SSVP at St. Timothy Roman Catholic Parish in Winnipeg, Manitoba to help the poor and needy, a cause dear to him.
