Not sure what to say?

I wish I could have had more time to talk to and get to know your father. What a great man he is. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To Thelma, Melissa, Martha, Amy and to all members of the Chapman family,

I have so many great and fond memories of the farm, playing cards, float trips, meals and laughter with the family. I can say there was never a dull moment in the presence of Morris--he usually set up the moment and enjoyed the chaos that followed. What fun!! love to all, Mary and Phil PS. I'll be in touch Thelma!

A true legend in and out of the courtroom. He will never be forgotten.

After Justice Chapman conducted our wedding ceremony in 2003, Kathy lost her father to cancer. We know that this is a difficult time for the Chapman family. Please know that we are thinking of you.

A great lawyer and a very kind and interesting man.

Morris Chapman was well-known for his compassionate nature and his talent as an advocate. In his lifetime, he accomplished great things and improved the lives of countless fellow humans. He was a true humanitarian. His beloved family has not only our sympathy for their loss, but also our gratitude for sharing this very special man with a world that needed him.

An admirable man. An inspiration.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
