I met Chappell when we bought our '98 Newell. He had been looking at it for a few weeks and finally made the decision to buy it. Right after I put a deposit on it. We met on our way to Spearfish and became good friends. Every time we passed through Nacogdoches we'd stop and visit, go out to dinner, have a few glasses of wine, and tell great stories (mostly listen to his stories). He was a remarkably talented man, from his clockworks, to his wood working. If you've ever had the privilege of seeing his home you'd be amazed. I've never seen so many clocks!
We spoke with Mary Elizabeth last week and she is doing ok.
Yes Chappell was a southern gentleman and his wife was a true Georgia peach. Cindy and I will miss him dearly.
RIP Chappell.
