He is survived by sister Emily Wick; Frances, his wife of 57 years; son and daughter-in-law, Clark Benjamin Chapman and Amy Mercer Chapman of Shallotte, NC and their children Colton, Olivia, and Sadie; daughter and son-in-law, Jannette and Len Testa of Boone, NC and their four children Pete, Stephen, Mark, and Michelle; plus eleven great-grandchildren.
Mr. Chapman served as Seaman First Class in the U.S. Navy during WWII. Clark earned his B.S. in Business Administration from Youngstown State University in 1949. He worked in bookkeeping and accounting at Republic Steel (LTV) in Youngstown, Ohio until retiring during the late seventies. Clark also worked at the Easter Seals Center in Youngstown following the closures of the steel mills.
Clark was a dedicated member of the Disciples of Christ Church in Girard, Ohio for most of his life. He was also a Master Mason and 70+ year member of the William Farr Masonic Lodge.
Mr. Chapman has been living independently with his wife in Brunswick County, NC, and has spent much of the last 27 years either enjoying the company of his grandchildren, painting his house, sunning in a chair on the driveway, or collecting golf balls from the ponds around the golf course. He will be missed for his quiet, unassuming nature, kind heart, and dutiful service to God and country.
A private memorial service will be held July 3, 2020. Expressions of sympathy may be offered to the family at www.whitefuneralservicesupply.com
