My Sympathies to The Family of Pete Lawson. I knew Pete about As Long as I know Myself. I never knew his name was Chester. I was really shocked when I saw his Picture on Samuels Website. He was Always Polite and A Man of Few Words but Pete was One Of The Nicest Persons I ever met in Summerton. I called him Pete and He called me Bubba. He probably didn't know My Real Name either. Rest In Peace My Friend. Joseph Richburg
