Kenneth Chichester

STAMFORD — Kenneth A. Chichester, 81, went to be with his Lord on Monday, July 1, 2002, after a long struggle with poor health.

He was born on Sept. 28, 1920, in Hauversville, the oldest son of Cleo and Emily (Lewis) Chichester.

Ken graduated from Middleburgh Central School, Class of 1941, and attended the State University College at Fredonia, majoring in music. He took courses at Cornell University and the State University College at Oneonta.

He met his wife, Christina Strong, the first day of college.

He enlisted in the Army Air Force, transferred to the 513th Air Force Band, stationed at Keesler Field, Biloxi, Miss., where he and Chris were married Oct. 31, 1943, and would have celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary. He saw service in England and was discharged in 1946.

Ken has held various types of work, from New York State apiary inspector, to DHI milk inspector, to dairy, horse and cauliflower farming, as distributor at Scintilla, and, lastly, bus driver at Stamford Central School for 30 years where he also served as a substitute teacher, "gofer" for his wife, and friend and defender of all "his kids."

Ken was choir director in every village or city where he and his family lived: in First Baptist Church, Biloxi, then Middleburgh, Otego and Stamford United Methodist Churches.

He was choir director in Stamford for 39 years until failing health made it impossible.

He had led the Area Ecumenical Choir for at least 15 years, giving Cantatas at Christmas and Easter gathering those who loved to sing or play an instrument from the area communities. He also began the U.M. Handbell Choir, taken over by his wife and now under the direction of Claudia Bell.

Ken and his family were very involved in the raising and showing of horses, mostly Morgans.

Ken with the County 4-H agents started the First 4-H Horse Club in New York State. His emphasis in riding or showing horses was good sportsmanship, first and foremost.

Over the years Ken held many positions in the church and was always on call to help with whatever needed to be accomplished.

With his wife he was instrumental in beginning the Area 13 Special Olympics (Delaware, Otsego and Chenango Counties), the State and National Special Olympics. Ken always volunteered to drive the school bus filled with happy athletes to the events with the kindness and understanding of the late Jack Siring and then Dick Little. Other schools also offered their buses but S.C.S. was tops.

With his family, his church activities, his horses and the Special Olympics, Ken was continually helping with his heart as big as gold.

Ken belonged to the Stamford United Methodist Church, the V.F.W. and to the Northeastern Jurisdiction Fellowship of Music, Worship and other Arts.

Ken is survived by his wife; his children, Ken Jr. "Skip" and Lucy Chichester, Michael and Linda Chichester, Gary and Sharon Chichester, Susan and Peter Powell; and grandchildren, Shannon and Roger Smith, Peter II and Heather Simmonds Powell, Christopher, Morgan and Brianne Chichester, Michael and Linda Chichester, Stephen and Karen Chichester and Jamie and Terry Chichester; great-grandchildren, Elizabeth, Michael R., Megan, Zachery, Casey, Austin, Sheridan and Chezney Ann. The Chichesters raised and loved nine other children, including four that they had custody of, Ronald (Betty) Dzikowski, Ernest (Sarah) Dzikowski, Madeline (Robert) Heisler and David Dzikowski, staff sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps, killed in 1976.

Funeral services will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 6, 2002, at the Stamford United Methodist Church, Stamford, with the Rev. Lawrence Charles officiating.

Calling hours will take place from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday, July 5, 2002, at the MacArthur Funeral Home, Hobart. Burial will be at Stamford Cemetery, Stamford.
