Chester Hamby

I just came upon this. My name is Michael Stowers, son of Mike Stowers. My dad worked with Chester for many years in the Union. I remember spending time with Chet growing up. I looked up to him. My dad would always tell me how hard would work and the quality of work he would do. I thought of Chester as this almost mythical person because of how hard he worked and how strong he was. The Stowers family send our love. ~Michael Stowers; Bishop, CA

Just wanted you to know I am thinking of you at this time, Libby. Don't know if you knew that Tom passed away last year, so I can certainly feel what you are going through.

Chet was one of our first friends when we moved to Arizona and one of our most loyal. He made it easy to adjust to a big change. We will always cherish our adventures and visits to T or C. Great food and he always made Lady and Corky feel like family. We love you Chet . See you later.. Bernie and Roxanne

Chester was a great friend and a loving person to all. He never missed a single one of my yard sales. Donald Reser

Great man. He will be missed. Glad I got to meet him and have the few memories. the world lost another good cowboy.

Chester was a kind, caring and loving Husband,Father and Friend. He will be missed. He was a cowboy style craftsman keeping himself busy making bags, purses, knifes and furniture mostly for his wife Libby. We meet his Mom and Dad back in 1996. (Shorty and Nora) they would talk about their Son Chester& Libby coming to live at TorC. Chester&Libby did arrive about 10 years later. His Mom&Day was wheeler and dealers. Chester helped his parents make something special out of their finds. Good Man! We our sorry for your lost, prayer for your family and to his loving wife Libby. Joe&Sue
