It is with much sadness that we report the passing of IPA Hall of Famer, Chet Schafer.
Chet was inducted into the International Polka Association’s Hall of Fame in 1976, and played a vital role in bringing polka music entertainment to the masses in the Chicagoland area and beyond.
Polka Radio personality, Music producer, Singer, Dancer, were just a few of the accolades associated with Mr. Schafer. His great wit, charm and personality will be missed. Rest in Peace to the “Dean of Radio Broadcasting”.
