Thomas Conway Chapter was born in Jersey City, New Jersey on July 14, 1938, to Stanley and Anna Mae Chapter. He served honorably in the Air Force from 1957 to 1960. He obtained a Master of Science Degree from Rutgers University in 1974 and spent over 20 years of his career as a geologist with engineering firm Louis Berger before his retirement in 2011. Tom was a gun enthusiast, a carpenter, a sailor, and a city-boy-turned-cowboy who was always whistling or humming a tune. He loved Irish music, dark beer, and pointing out rocks to his family on hikes. He taught his daughters how to throw a baseball, perfectly wrap a present, and cook an omelet utilizing his patented tri-fold technique. He left this world peacefully on June 21, 2022, with family by his side. He is survived by his wife Linda, daughters Lindsey, Anna, and Emilie, his granddaughters Tommie and Emmy, his grandsons Charlie and Nate, and his sons-in-law, David and J.D.. Everyone whose life he touched is better for having known him.
Services will be held on Saturday June 25th, 2022 at 10:00 am at Epiphany Episcopal Church (10450 Gilespie St., Las Vegas, Nevada 89138) with a luncheon to follow at the family’s home (please email [email protected] for directions).
