February 27, 1928 — June 3, 2018
Chester A. Waple, 90, of Clearfield died on Sunday, June 3, 2018 at the home of his daughter and son-in-law.
He was born on February 27, 1928 in Bigler, a son of the late Patrick and Mary (Jury) Waple.
He served his country in the U. S. Army during two different assignments from 1946-1949 and 1950-1954, achieving the rank of Master Sergeant upon discharge. Mr. Waple was employed by the Pennsylvania Electric Company from 1954 until his retirement in 1986.

Also in his retirement, he and his wife traveled extensively throughout the US, especially enjoying visiting his son and daughter-in-law in Oregon.
He is survived by two children, Jane Davis and husband Jim of Clearfield, and Curtis Waple and wife Vicki (Montague) of Selma, OR; two grandsons, Evan and Brett Davis; a sister, Nellie Shuster; and many nieces and nephews.
