Another testament to this fine man is the difference his daughter Elizabeth Chandler has made and is continuing to make in this world. The apple falls not far from the tree.

Daddy, you worked hard to provide for your family. You weren't a big talker [I guess you left that up to Mom], but your presence was always noticed. We will miss you!
