Not sure what to say?

Oh my goodness. My friend and I were just reminiscing about Prof. Chaney. We miss him every time we go to the Apollon restaurant and see his table. I still get his blue martini every time I go. He was such a wonderfully interesting man to talk to. He is GREATLY missed!

It was a pleasure to serve Dr. Chaney for more than 25 years.

I only had the chance to meet this amazing man twice, both times while I was blessed to be seated next to "his" table while we dined at Apollon. His blue martini brought the memories of the blue waters of Santorini back to me. His wonderful stories will be missed and the world has lost an amazing man.

Brilliant intellect; Inspiring mentor; Courtly manners; Rapier wit; Gentle man; Great friend...Bill Chaney.

Yes... "The Professor" will be missed at the Apollon! What a truly interesting, gentle man.... AND gentlemen! His "blue martini" is something I have to have every time I go for dinner. He will be sorely missed at "his table"! It was an honor to have met him.

No dinner at the Apollon would be complete without a visit to Professor Chaney's table. Truly a delightful man, our family will miss him.

Dr Chaney was a gracious, delightful, and engaging person. Always made you feel like your opinion was the most important he could hear. The world is a little colder now.

Prof. Chaney reading this brings tears to my eyes. You truely touched my life!! You will be missed.Enjoy heaven until we meet again!
