Roy W. Chapman, 84, passed away Thursday January 19 at the Vermont Veterans Home in Bennington, VT. He was born May 15, 1927. Roy Chapman is a name widely heard around the Upper Valley. He accomplished many things while here on this earth. He was a dedicated Husband and provided his life and heart to his wife Evelyn Chapman, who passed away in 2004. In her name he strove to live a full life and in doing so he had many wonderful memories to pass on for generations to come. He was a WWII Veteran earning a Purple Heart among many other prestigious military honors. He wore many hats in his life, Sheriff, professional boxer and automotive mechanic to name a few. He wanted to make the world a better place. He ran a New Hampshire fish and game hunters safety course and encouraged the community to reach out and provide better elderly care. He will be best remembered by his family as a man who put others before himself and provided the strength a family needs. He leaves behind a daughter Eva Chapman and grandchildren Melissa Levesque, Tommy-Lee Woodward and Zoe Digby. Peace of Mind lies on the fact that he is now where he wants to be, in the arms of his wife's embrace.
