Chester Francis Hulsinger Sr.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Chester Francis Hulsinger Sr., a cherished father, brother, and grandfather, who passed away on January 8, 2025, in Kathleen, Georgia. Born on September 22, 1958, in Trenton, New Jersey, 

Chester lived a vibrant life filled with dedication to his work, family, and passions. Chester spent his career as a skilled machinist at The Boeing Company, dedicating his talents to the world of industrial machinery and airplane innovation. Known for his meticulous craftsmanship and innovative spirit, Chester played a crucial role in advancing industrial technology, a legacy that remains within the structures he helped build. Those who knew Chester remember him for his quick wit and infectious sense of humor. A member of Moose Lodge 1688 and an active participant in the American Legion, Chester carried a lively spirit into every gathering and event, always ready with a joke or a story to light up the room. He was an enthusiastic fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, often found cheering them on during the football season. His appreciation for rock music and love for NASCAR races offered him joy and relaxation. Chester also cherished his times at the lake, where he found peace and enjoyment in nature's simple pleasures. 

Left to cherish his memory are his children, Jenna Smith and Chester Francis Hulsinger Jr., along with four beloved grandchildren, each carried by Chester with immense pride and love. His brother, Richard Hulsinger, and his stepfather, William "Bill" Alverson, who raised him with care and warmth, also survive him. Chester is preceded in death by his parents, Frances Lyle Hulsinger and Jean Marie Marko Alverson, and his dear son, Christopher Hilbrick. Chester’s family finds comfort in the memories of his laughter and the legacy of love he leaves behind. 

A ceremony to celebrate his life will be announced at a later date, and Chester’s loved ones invite all who remember him to join and share in the stories and memories of a life well-lived. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly suggests donations to local community causes close to Chester's heart, or simply partake in a moment of laughter and joy in remembrance of his spirited presence.
