Robert Estep Chew, 61, of St. Leonard died Nov.14, 2012, at his residence.

He was born March 24, 1951, in Prince Frederick to the late Louis H. Chew and Ollie Chew (Mutter).

Affectionately, he was known as “Estep.” He attended Maryland public schools. He was a dedicated worker, employed by Ceilings and Petitions for more than 20 years. He loved his Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Corvette and all of his trucks and cars. He was a member of the Washington, D.C., Iron Motorcycle Club and Harley Riders. The life of the party, he had to be clean everywhere he went. He played drums and was also a singer in various bands. He didn’t mind being the first on the dance floor; he loved to dance. He enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved spending time with his family; his jokes and laughs kept family and friends in stitches. He loved to eat. He would willingly go out his way to help anyone he could, even though he would fuss (the entire time) while fixing a car, “Don’t let your car get like this anymore.” His weekly TV show favorites were “Family Feud” and “Judge Judy.”
