My condolences to the Chapman family. Dick's mother Hazel was a close friend to my grandmother (Dollie McPeek). Our paths crossed in later life when Frank played softball at the ball parks that my father (Chub Carson) ran and Dick & Cora would come watch. And then he became my doctor. He was a very kind man. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Find solace in the wonderful memories that you share.

Doc Chapman (the way he answered his phone) kept me moving for a very long time. I remember one time he slipped out of the office while I was under that wonderful heating pad & when he came back he said his wife was baking cookies & he just had to have one while they were still warm because she baked the best cookies in the country. He will be missed. I will pray for your family.
