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.
