Obituary for Chester P. Kauffman
Chester P. Kauffman, 89, of Shoemakersville, died Saturday, April 14, 2018 in San Jacinto Manor, Deer Park, TX. He was the husband of the late Marian E. (Swoyer) Kauffman, who died October 6, 2017. Chester and Marian were happily married for 68 years.
Born in Mohrsville, he was the son of the late Paul and Lucy (Free) Kauffman. He was a member of St. Luke's Church, Shoemakersville. Chester worked for R&L Farms, "The Feed Mill" in Shoemakersville and later as a truck driver for Consolidated Freightways, retiring in 1988. He had two trucks with license plates on the front that read "Chet." He was a member of Shoemakersville Fire Company, Shoemakersville Senior Citizens, a former member of Teamsters, and will always be remembered as a hard worker and a kind-hearted man. Chester was an avid collector of pennies, enjoyed casino trips, and traveling, played bingo, and enjoyed spending time at the Third Street Cafe, Hamburg. Every Christmas he would visit Florida, and enjoyed visiting Las Vegas and Texas. He was known by some of his friends as Chet.
