Chester Chamblee was 69 years old and born on April 18th, 1949, in Winston North Carolina to the late great Bernice Slade and Vassie Chamblee. Chester was the seventh of ten children. He was a happy child and was liked by everyone some called him “the golden child” others called him “Kike” because he had troubles saying cake as a child.

After high school, Chester enlisted in the U.S. Army and served proudly for several years. When Chester was honorably discharged that is when his life began. He started a career at Pratt and Whitney in East Hartford Ct. Chester later on transitioned to a taxi cab driver in Ct. but drove all around and boy did he enjoy it, that is where a lot of his stories that he told originated. Chester made a lot of friends in a lot of places. He loved to travel just as much as he loved to eat. Chester loved homemade coconut cake(Kike), banana pudding and his daughter in-law’s pig feet. Chester was especially fond of going to the OTB with his brother Little Buddy and listening to his 60’s and 70’s music but Sade was his overall favorite. Chester was and is a free spirit who was known to have a heart of gold.

Chester leaves behind 10 brothers and sisters: Milton and Vernon, predeceased and 5 sister, Barbra of Ga., Alma(Pete) of Va., Linda of Va, Yvonne of RI. and Mildred (Ping) of Va. and 2 brothers: Vassie Jr(Little Buddy) of Ct. and Donald Joseph(Ding) of RI.
