Chester was born to Robert Fulton Metcalf and Juanita Rayburn Metcalf on March 1, 1930 in Venus, Texas. Chester married Patsy Wynona Matthews on March 4, 1950 in Alvarado. He proudly served in the United States Army during the early 1950's, with duty assignments in England at RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall. He retired in 1994 as a Purchasing Manager for Campbell Taggart Bakeries with over 30 years of distinguished service. He was of the Methodist faith. Chester was known as a phenomenal story-teller and historian, who was blessed with an impeccable memory and recall. His love for his wife, children and grandchildren was boundless. Chester was an avid reader, a lover of the movie "The Christmas Story," and a crossword puzzle aficionado. Chester was a family man who enjoyed "grouse hunting" with his favorite cousins every six weeks or so. His razor-sharp wit and stories will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved him.
Chester was preceded in death by his parents and by his granddaughter, Sara Ashley Metcalf. Survivors include his wife of 61 years, Patsy Metcalf; son, Craig Metcalf and his wife, Bobbie; daughter, Jennifer Walker and her husband, Henry Jr.; grandchildren, Michael Alt, Trey Walker, Dustin Alt, David Alt, and Katie Metcalf; sisters and brothers- in-law, Pat and Jim Watson, and Sandra and Joe Bitz; several nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of other relatives and loving friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorials if desired may be made to the Venus Memorial Park, P.O. Box 125, Venus, Texas 76084 or Venus United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 431, Venus, Texas 76084.
