Edward Chapman Obituary
The Chapman family arrived in Anchorage in May 1961 and settled in the brand new West Turnagain neighborhood. Parents Ruth and Larry had four children: Robert, Linda, Christine, and Ed. The Chapmans enjoyed hunting, fishing, and everything Alaska had to offer.
Ed graduated from West High in Anchorage. He later received technical training to become a union lineman and electrician. He worked on many projects all over the state from 1983-2014.
Ed is survived by his brother Bob, sisters Linda and Chris plus many kids and grandkids. He will be missed by many others.
Ed lived a simple uncomplicated life. He enjoyed gardening, nature, cross country skiing, and walking. He was well liked by all who knew him and was quick to help others in need.
The family will have a memorial/celebration of life this summer.
