A photo to remember him

Andrea and family, so sorry to hear of John´s passing. Peace to you and to all who knew and loved him.

RIP brother. I have many fond memories of you. In the later years you were a big help to Mom and I. We didn't see you often but when we did, you brought smiles and were a big help in time of need. You left behind a wondeful legacy with Andrea, Eliza and Sarah. --Miken

Andrea--My heartfelt sympathy to you and your girls and to Dave and Miken for your loss of John. He left this world too young. My memories of John go back many years to pre-school. His Mom and I were best friends for about sixty years. Sending you special thoughts and prayers. Diane Decker

My sincere condolences to John´s family and Dave and miken. Having spent alot of time at the Chappell farm while growing up, I remember John as a little boy running around, so cute. With deep sympathy....

Thinking of you, Andrea, Eliza and Sarah. We were so sad to hear of John's passing. The last time I saw him was the visit to your camp on the lake with Jon and Sharon. John cooked up a wonderful meal on the grill and we shared lots of laughs over family stories and memories! We will miss John's hearty laugh!! Our deepest sympathy to you all. With love, Sally and Bill Kincaid

Andrea, Eliza, and Sarah, so very sorry to see the news about your precious John. I cannot imagine the loss you are feeling. There is never enough time with the ones we love. Please know your South Carolina family has you all in our prayers.

From lunch hour football (the NFL had nothing on ACS barn burners) and seemingly unending tuba practice ("Blow the Man Down" saved A LOT of mind numbing um-pahs), I have known no one more in the moment as you.

John parents lived and worked in Andes his mother was our kids teacher in school, lovely lady . His father was a farmer and had a saw mill. I am so sorry he was too young to go 61. I did email him a little.
