To Chappy’s family,
We loved Chappy. He and Myra were wonderful friends and neighbors. Chappy had a great laugh and was always fun to visit with. He has been gone 2 1/2 months now, and we miss him very much. Although he wasn’t living at his house anymore, we still saw him. He will be missed. All our Love, Hugs and Prayers

Bill, was a wonderful childhood friend. We hung out together into our teens. I just read this today. Had no idea he had passed away. Alice, I am so sorry for your loss. Bill, you and Myra are together again. No more lonliness.
