Richard Douglas Chastang

Can someone tell me or get in contact with me on where the plot is? I'd like to visit and keep it up.

Richard you were such a profound part of my childhood. Thank you for taking me to meet Scott Hall and Lex from WWE. Man I wish I had your wisdom more than ever now days. Miss you a lot and you will always be remembered

I am saddened to learn of Richard's passing last year. He was my trainer for a time (on my dad's recommendation) at the Orange Avenue Gym in Orlando nearly 30 years ago. I so enjoyed my sessions with Richard. I can remember him showing me the meticulous notes in his very tiny and precise handwriting! he was compiling on his family's history. It was clear that was quite a labor of love for him! Richard was a gentle giant. Always kind and encouraging. My belated condolences and sincere sympathy to his family.

May God, Jesus and the angels surround you with peace and love!! You will be missed!! I will never forget you!!

I will always have love in my heart for Richard Chastang!! Melissa Chastang, Hosford

Christian Brothers wrestling Tag Team- "Soldiers of God" Pro wrestler for a min, you guys didnt know I guess. he also had a 740 Dead Lift..super strong dude inspired alotta people in the gym!! Orange Ave Gym forever!

Rest in God's Peace, Richard...you will be remembered by many in so many ways, but foremost among these is your kind and gentle nature. From the tall and skinny guy living three doors down on Alfred Drive, to the lifeguard at the KMA Pool, and to the muscular guy my dad & I saw at Florida Southern College, your brilliant mind and meticulous ways made conversations interesting and car mechanics precise! You took that attention to details with you to Mobile and helped many find their roots. Thank you for being a great neighbor and friend to the entire Meisel Family! God Bless You and the entire Chastang Family...

I met Richard a handful of times, usually at funerals. He was an interesting and fact filled guy. He will be missed and I offer my condolences to his/our family.

Richard was a great asset to Mobile creole research. He was always generous in sharing family information. He will be greatly missed.

Life is but a Stopping Place
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord

Rest in Heavenly Peace.

I'm deeply sadden to hear of his passing. He was a brilliant man. He shared his genealogy knowledge with great enthusiasm. A huge loss for Mobilians.
