Dear Peggy and family. My deepest condolences in the loss of your father. He was a man with a stand-out character! How he used to make us CASS students laugh during his marriage ceremonies at the annual high school Sadie Hawkins dances. I still to this day remember some of his matrimonial patter. An extremely well-liked teacher. In sympathy.

We were saddened to hear that Chesley had passed away.We have many fond memories of him. My mother was his teacher in a one room school house on Roxham Road and his parents and mine were neighbours as were our grandparents and great-grandparents years before. Chesley was a kind man with a wonderful sense of humour. We will always have fond memories of him and the good times our families enjoyed together. Our thoughts are with you at this time.

When we moved to St. Joseph Island one of the first people we meet was Chesley Wallace. He became an instant friend, as he did to all, and will be greatly missed by us both.

This guy is nothing but wonderful memeories. I think one year we wrote done all the differrent names he called the students when were we being silly. Ethopian Potlicker was my favourite. He was an awesome teacher who did let you goof around a lot. But when it came time for the exam he sure crammed everything in and made sure you knew everything for the exam. If you made him mad...just bring him a bean sandwich the next day...it was all good because he always said his wife wouldnt let him have one because if gave him to much ZIPPET DO DAY in his day. Wonderful man we were very blessed to grown up with him!

Sincere condolences to the Wallace family. There are teachers that you will always remember far after high school, and Mr. Wallace was a very special teacher and will always be remembered for his humour and passion. RIP Mr. Wallace.

Mr. Wallace was my political mentor in the 70's when we both worked on an election for a local candidate. A wonderful mentor who continued to be my friend for nearly 40 years. Only saw him occasionally but always smiling and happy to see me. I will miss that...Condolences to his family and friends.
