MILLINOCKET and AMBAJEJUS LAKE – Chester L. Hamm Jr., lovingly known as “Chuck,” passed away Saturday, Nov. 6, 2010.

In addition to his father, Chester L. Hamm Sr., Chuck was predeceased by the loves of his life, Carol “CJ” Mackin and Storm. Graveside services will be held 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, at Millinocket Cemetery with Deacon Danny Watson officiating.
