Robert Chappel Family: I knew you thru your beloved daughter Robin. We met @ DESC working together and became best friends. She talked about you and her Mom all the time with such passion. She truly thought you two were the "coolest" parents. I truly feel the hurt from all the lost the Chappel family have experienced and I wanted to express my condolence to Jodi and the rest of the family. Your kindness and passion for living will never be forgotten and I know your family will forever remember you with love--May God watch over your family in peace.

Bob..Bob, thats what I called him! But always in a respectful way, and he took it as such. I met Mr. Bob, while employed at the Beavercreek Post Office. Always had a smile, and always, always spoke. He had a kind word to say, we would joke around every day! I mean every day! And once he start laughing, he didn't stop, lol! Bob, was a friend, a gentleman, a kind man, he loved that gray car too! I must truly say, that it was a pleasure to have known you My Brother!! I say to the family, trust in the Lord, and lean not unto your own understanding! Be strong, and He is definitely in a better place!
May GOD continue to bless all of you!

"God is our refuge and strength."
Praying that you will seek the Lord's strength at this time of sadness. I worked with Robert at the Dayton Post Office back in the late 70's early 80's. He was a gentleman at all time. He will be truly missed.
