He is survived by his son Roy Skolos (Brenda) of Kimberley, BC, daughter Starla Kowal (Vic) of Kelowna, daughter Colleen Jensen (Alyn) of Chipman, NB, and grandchildren Anna-Marie Skolos, Chet Skolos, and Grant Skolos. He was predeceased by his wife Kathleen (Kay) and his son Murray.

Chester was born in Dalton, Saskatchewan.

After moving to BC and settling in the Aldergrove area, he concluded his working career as a utilities foreman with the Municipality of Langley.

After his retirement, Chester and Kay moved to Abbotsford and divided their time for some years between a home there and one in Phoenix, Arizona. They moved to Kelowna in 1999 where they resided first at Shaughnessy Green and then at the Chatsworth Retirement residence.

Chester was a keen card player and an avid fan of the Vancouver Canucks since that team
