In Loving Memory of
J. Gary Chapman
Who died peacefully at home on Thursday, May 4, 2017 surrounded by his loving family.
Beloved husband of Judy and loving father of Cheri (Bruce), and Shaun (Top). Loving grandfather of Gavin (Dani), Brady (Rachel), Robby (Randi), Ben (Vic), Hannah and great grandfather of Rome. Fondly remembered by his sister Gail (Doug), brother-in-law Don (Jane) and sister-in-law Bea (Angus) and nieces and nephews Karen, Rob, Bryan, Heather, Allison, Jennifer, Rebecca, Sarah and John.
Gary was an Ontario Provincial Policeman, a water-colour artist, singer and guitar player who founded his first band “The Virtually Unknowns” at the age of 17. Gary was a great story teller, a camper who loved the outdoors and a wonderful, fun-loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend.
He will be sadly missed by his family friends throughout Canada and the U.S. As an artist Gary taught water-colour for over 20 years at the Haliburton School of the Arts, he was a member of The Canadian Society of Rye and Watercolour Painters and past president of the East Central Ontario Artist Association.
A Celebration of Gary’s Life will take place at a later date. Cremation has taken place.
Memorial Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family and can be arranged through the Gordon A. Monk Funeral Home Ltd., P.O. Box 427, Minden, Ontario K0M 2K0.
