Not sure what to say?

Joan and Jeff, I didn´t know until today that Mr. Chapman passed. Goodness! So many great memories of working for Thelma and indirectly for him in the late 70s. What a great and generous man he was, taking everyone on ski trips, buying hams and turkeys for employees at Christmas, sponsoring sports teams, supporting me when I represented Chapman Corporation in the Miss United Way pageant!

I want to extend my condolences to Mr Chapman’s family snd friends. Such a remarkable man. So many do not realize how much he did for others. I do. I was one of those that he helped He, like my father, believed in me and cheered me on to be the best I could be. I wouldn’t be the same today without him. He will be always remembered and appreciated by myself and my son Tom.

Joan, sorry about your dad. Our prayers are with you. I remember meeting you at Walt Disney World Hollywood Studios .

So sorry for your loss. It was a pleasure to know and work for him.

I was very sorry to hear about the death of John. My dad and uncle had the upmost respect for him. The construction community lost another good one.

John was the best "boss" I've ever had. I worked with him for nearly 25 years and in many ways he saved my life and future. Will remember him especially when he hired me when his only question of me was "how many fingers does Mickey Mouse have?" I want to see how observant you are. Thanks, John.
