Obituary of William Bernice Chapman

Please share a memory of William to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

William “Bobby” Chapman, 66, of Troy, peacefully entered into eternal life on Friday, October 15, 2021.

Born in Bethel, NC, he was the son of the late James Cecil Chapman and the late Dicey Louise Ward Chapman and was educated in the Troy City Public Schools.

 

Bobby had been employed as a laborer at the former Adirondack Steel in Watervliet and Port of Albany.

 

He was a loving father, brother, and friend. Known by "Bobby" to all, and for his fighting skills when he was younger, he embodied that same indomitable spirit in life and throughout every health battle, until the very end. He enjoyed simple pleasures like western movies, old-school R&B, eating delicious food, especially his sisters' and daughter's cooking, but most of all, his greatest joy in life was spending time with his family and close friends.

 

Survived by Daughters:  LaToya Gaynelle Denise Jackson, Felisha Stinson, and Sheria Lashette Romaine Chapman, Sons: William Chapman and La'mar Chapman, Grandchildren: Keeria E.M. Johnson, Corey D. Johnson (Yeleina), Jamell S. Brandon, Sylvia D. Stinson, Mahjirah Chapman, Madison Chapman, Airehs Wayyub Jackson, Siareh Bernice Jackson, Makya Chapman, Harmony Chapman, La'Niya Chapman, Great-grandchildren: Kash'Sean Royalty Brown and Catalina Elise Johnson

 

Siblings: James "Curt" Chapman (Sallie), Bettie Lewis (Charles Douglas), Carolyn Chapman, Mary Ann Chapman (Dennis), Dannie Chapman (Rosalind), Denise Tune (Joseph), Calvin Chapman, Christine Lewis (Andrew), Patricia Chapman and the late Robert Chapman; also survived by the love of his life, Cookie Jackson, and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and close friends.
