Chester Louis Smalley Jr. went home to be with our Lord Jesus Christ, Christmas Eve 2021.

Louie, as he was called by all who knew and loved him, was born November 18th 1941 at Mahopac Hospital to Myrtle Morrison Smalley and Chester Louis Smalley Sr. Growing up in Brewster, NY, he graduated Brewster High School, and entered the Army where he was stationed in Germany.

Upon completion of his military service, Louie became a tree surgeon with Ruffles Tree Service. It was during that time, that a chance encounter at Bill's Diner led him to the love of his life, Christina Krivak, who he married June 22, 1968.

Being intensely responsible, Louie always sought to better himself and entered an apprenticeship with New York State Electric and Gas. Upon completion of the apprenticeship, Louie became a First Class lineman where he enjoyed over 40 years, before retiring as a Chief Line Mechanic.

Upon retirement, Louie and Teena shared many vacations at exotic locales, visiting various states and countries with their best friends Nicholas and Elizabeth Lovallo. However, out of all of Louie's great loves, nothing was as important to him as his family especially his six grandchildren.

Louie is survived by his bride of 53 years, Christina Smalley; his sons David L. Smalley (Lizette), and Christopher P. Smalley (Jody); his daughter Lynda J. Smalley - Novitsky (Brian); and his six grandchildren, Nora, Abigale, Caitlin, Ameilia, Tiergan and Genevieve. He is also survived by his sister, Patricia McLaughlin (Michael); and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Louie was predeceased by his parents; and sister Laura Barnetta.

Calling hours will be held on Friday from 11am - 4pm at the McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., 895 Route 82, Hopewell Junction. The funeral service will be held at 4pm.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to IPF Foundation.
