My heartfelt condolences to the family of Lynn Chapman, a lovely gentleman whom I knew briefly when my daughter married his stepson Daniel. I know he will be missed by all his family and friends.

While I did not know Lynn, I know his brother Ron, as we were on the Lowell swim team together in 1951 and I see him twice a year at the Class of 1952 gatherings at the Presidio Café, SF.
My heart goes out to Shirley and the Chapman family for the loss.
God Bless You, Rick Bradley
