Ben B. Chapman

Ben was the dearest friend anyone could ask for and we will surely miss him.
Paul and Theresa Leasure

Ben has been a part of my life for nearly as long as I can remember. I have such fond memories of him joining the Anthony family almost every week when we all gathered to play and sing country music. I also remember when Ben,Joyce,Billie,and Brian would all come to our house or we'd go to theirs to visit after church. He has always been my favorite songleader at church and I loved the way he would lead Vanessa and Sabrina's favorite hymn whenever they attended. There is such sadness in my...

Ben was definitely a one of a kind - and what a kind that was! He will be sorely missed by his church family. His genuine concern for everyone, his wonderful sense of humor, his deep conviction, his song leading ....He leaves a huge hole in our hearts and in the church in Ojai.

Burt was one of the world's good guys. Our warmest thoughts go out to Joyce and their lovely family. What a loss.
With Love, Skip and Jerry

Dear Chapman Family,

I am Marvin & Lucille Ivie's daughter. Mr. Chapman was a wonderful man in my small dealings with him, attending church when in Ojai. I know he was a good friend to my parents. I am sorry for your loss and know that no words can ease the sorrow of loosing your husband, father, grandfather! Alaire Hayes

What a huge loss to Burt's wonderful family

Joyce,

The news of Ben's passing brings tears to my eyes. I guess I thought such a wonderful man would live forever. I know he will always live in my heart.

I remember when he was so sick, yet he came to Fiddlers the next week. He always had a big smile, and was so encouraging.

The world has an empty space.

Love, Marsha
