Passing of Mark S. Chester, Carousel Enthusiast
By Andrew Lardieri

Since the most recent update to https://www.wurlitzer-rolls.com/ 
(Matthew Caulfield's complete Wurlitzer 165 rolls catalog), I found
that Mark Chester of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, who has been very
well known in the band organ and mechanical music community by many,
sadly passed away five days ago this month after battling for years
with a horrid health declining condition known as Lou Gehrig's
disease.  I only met him and interacted with him once during a visit
to the Glenn Thomas Collection back in 2018.

We will always remember Mark with heavy hearts.  May he rest in peace
and be loved by many in mechanical music heaven.

Andrew Lardieri
