My deepest condolences. Mr. Janusz was my principal for 3 years and he taught me way beyond those years. He had a special gift with his ability to connect with and touch so many people.

Shortly after Chet was no longer driving his car many of us would chip in and be his personal “driver”. On one such occasion we stopped in to our regular Dunkin for early morning coffee and as we left Chet totally surprised the fellows working behind the counter with his favorite “Have The BEST Day of your Life…….EVER!”
And to this day both Mike and Mohammed love sharing his favorite saying!

Priscilla and family.
My deepest condolences on your loss. Whenever I saw Chet he was always welcoming. I quote him almost everyday to someone “have the best day of your life”. And the fact of the matter was, he meant it. He gave of himself to help others.
May his memory be a blessing.

After Mike and Jen were married, one highlight of our stay at our summer home on Lake Michigan was the visit by Chet and Priscilla. How delightful it was to have them there. Chet often conveyed how enjoyable he found being at the lake with the growing family. He also always left with his signature directive to “Have the best day of your life.” What a positive outlook and infectious enthusiasm for life he shared with everyone he met – and, he never met a stranger! Rest in Peace, Chester.
With thoughts and prayers for Priscilla and Jen, our love, and nothing but fond memories,
Tom and Mary Kirkwood

Chet was a wonderful person. Chet was so kind to me when I worked at Park Middle School as the media specialist in the library. It was a great joy to have known Chet.
My deepest sympathies to Priscilla and Chet’s family.

Where do I even begin? What a wonderful friend he has been to our family. Not only did he guide myself and my three sisters through Jr. high school, but then he continued his friendship with our parents through the rest of their lifetime. I cannot thank he and Mrs. Janusz enough for being some of my parents best friends. We are so grateful for all of the love and support you have showed both of our parents through the years. It is with so much respect and love that we say goodbye.
All of our love always, The Dinizo girls. Donna, Lori, Judi and Lisa.

My condolences - Chet was a friendly face who cared deeply for people - he also had a sharp sense of humor - I knew him from his smile and his asking how I was doing whenever I saw him. He loved his family his wife Priscilla and daughter in Colorado. I can only imagine how many students he helped over the years!
