Mike Knudstrup wrote a sympathy message

“Chet Miller, Uncle Chet to me, was a good man. He had a good sense of humor that he shared with all and passed on to all his children. He was thoughtful and insightful in an open and modest way. He and Aunt Bonnie encouraged my love for polished petoskey stones and I still look at some of those rocks every day, having brought them all the way to Florida. I pray that he and Aunt Bonnie are in eternal rest with God our creator and Jesus Christ our savior. Mike Knudstrup his nephew.”

Ruth A Clifford wrote a sympathy message

“Chet and I became friends in high school. I introduced him to my girlfriend, Bonnie, from Manistee, and the rest is history. It was obviously a successful introduction. So sad they are both now gone from this physical world, and so happy we kept in touch over the years.”
