After his early years in Whitesburg, he briefly lived in Florida before moving to Madison in 1978, where he would spend the majority of his life.

After a humble beginning shining shoes and working at the Gulf service station, Chester built a 30-year career as a welder for Rotary Lift in Madison. When not working, he enjoyed Kentucky basketball, hunting, fishing, cards, coins, sports of all kinds, and frequenting places such as Trader Bakers to do some "collecting."
