I will always remember Mr bill walking down the hall of chapmans he was always so friendly and we would exchange roll rides weekly. I gave him a roll tide monkey this past year at Christmas and he loved it. He will be dearly missed
Sammy, or Wild Bill as the residents knew him best, will be so missed. I will miss coming down the hall in the mornings and either hearing him on the phone praying for his friends, or hearing him say good morning to staff as they come into work. His bright smile and cheerful demeanor always cheered me up. I spent many days at Sammy's feet, looking up seeing him smiling through what I knew was uncomfortable. Always saying thank you and wishing me the best after I left his room. Sammy was one of my biggest sweethearts and he will be so missed. To all of the family, my prayers are with you. May you find peace knowing he is comfortable with the Lord, playing his guitar and tipping his hat on the most beautiful front porch imaginable.
I work at Chapman's, an my long lasting memory of Bill is coming in every morning at 7am an being greeted by him with a goodmorning. Sometimes I would pass his room without looking an I would hear him say goodmorning, so I would back up give him a smile an say it back.RIP BILL, you will be missed.
We loved to stop and talk to Mr. Bill when we went to Chapman's - so pleasant and smiling. Forrest & Linda Forbus
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family.
