In 2004, he retired from the Teamsters Local Union #541 where he was well-known and still very well-known today as one of the best Boom Truck operators around. After retiring, Albert enjoyed fishing, playing cards, and slowly driving anywhere and everywhere. From four wheelers to back hoes and his own personal Boom Truck, Albert enjoyed all his toys. He is preceded in death by his father and mother, Floyd and Pauline Chapman as well as his brother, Charles Chapman. Albert is survived by his wife, Deney, of the home; and his children Don Chapman (Nikki) of Paola, KS; Darlene Lundy (Mike) of Edgerton, KS; and Charlene Holtgraver (Steve) of Edgerton, KS.

Albert was a true friend to so many. He loved drinking his HAMMS beer on a nice, sunny, warm day. He was an amazing man with a permanent smile that will be dearly missed by the whole community.
