Your Family is in our thought s down here as well...Really are not any words that can be said...

[Plowboy72]

Harley, I'm so sorry for your loss. If we can do anything let me know. Godspeed to you and your family! Its certainly a loss for your family and a loss to the racing community.

[a408swinger]

Harley, I haven't stopped by because frankly, I'm at a loss for words. I was already upset and I didn't want to make you any more upset than you already are. I know you already know this and have heard it many times already but if you need anything, and I mean anything, you let me know and I will do everything in my power to help out. Your dad was one of the best people I have ever met and would give any one of his friends the shirt off his back if they needed it. Just a great person all around and a good friend to everyone. Be sure to let us know what the arrangements will be. We love you man!

[copperdodge]

Butch, I am really sad to hear this news.... your Dad is a great man. I've met a lot of folks in my years, but somehow your dad was the only one that always made me feel like a little kid when I stood next to him. What a giant of a man with a great heart & soul..... I'm going to miss him.


Your whole family is my prayers.

[nosstang]

I was shocked to hear the news. I'm very sorry for your loss. I'll keep your family in our prayers.

[Harley]

I can't begin to thank you guys for all of your thoughts, prayers, and kind words about my dad. It truly means the world to me to know that you all cared about him as much as you did. We really lost a mountain of a man today. He was my dad, my best friend, and my hero. He lived a great life albeit too short and he loved every second of it. He did what he loved doing day in and day out up until the very last second. I'm sure gonna miss him...

[Stroker]

I just really dont even know what to say, except for its such a shock. We love ya man, and well all be praying for you!

[89beater]

GOD speed.

[Harley]

We just got home from making the arrangements. Visitation will be at Davenport Funeral Home in Walhalla tomorrow night at 6pm. The service will be on Sunday at 2pm in the Davenport chapel with graveside service to follow.

[Harley]

I just want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you guys for your support during the most difficult time in my life. It really means more to me than you will ever know to see how much you cared about my dad and how much you care about me. He was my mentor, my best friend, my inspiration, and my hero, but most of all, he was my Daddy. There were just no limits to what he was willing to sacrifice and do just to make sure that I was happy and had everything that I needed and wanted. I knew that I had something special in that mountain of a man, but not until now did I have any clue just how special he really was. There just aren't words to describe him. He was a friend to everyone and he spent every single day of his life trying to make sure everybody was happy. He did a great job. I couldn't be happier or more proud of the man that I got to call Daddy.........Harley Edward Chapman Sr., SCEMTP

[w89coupe]

Harley, I dont think anyone did anything that we know you wouldnt do for us. Thats what friends are for. Too bad it takes something like this to realize it but thats life. We are here for you now and will be in the following days. Its nice to have this close group of friends especially in a time of need. see ya in a little while. Chuck

[copperdodge]

How do we get to Davenport from Hwy11 north?

[Granny 67]

Stay on 11 its on the right, before you exit to go into Wallaha. Just before the over pass headed to Bobby Wood. Sorry I dont have street names and numbers I'm not from around here.

[copperdodge]

We'll look for it....

[fastback]

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Harley. Your Dad will be missed dearly. Like I told you yesterday, if you need to talk, I'll listen, I know what you are going through.

[89beater]

Hope I will have half as many friends as BIG HARLEY did when i leave this world. Most honorable funeral I've ever been to.

[copperdodge]

I tell you... Gwen & I didn't make the graveside service, but we rolled out with the rest of the procession down Hwy 11. The line of ambulances, fire trucks & everyone else pretty well stretched all the way from the burial gardens back to Davenport.... What a sight to behold.....

[Stroker]

Most honorable funeral I've ever been to.

For sure, by all the EMS, Fire Dept. Rescue Squad, etc. etc. You could tell he is a well respected man. Anyone who knew him would be proud to carry his name, you get to.

Butch, we're all praying for you and your family. Your dad was not only a friend, but one of the most generous and helpful people Ive ever met. Im going to miss him!!! You know my # if you need anything and I mean that. All of your friends are here to support you, and we know you would do the same for any of us.

[w89coupe]

one word...wow.....that was cool

[HorsePowerChic]

I have been trying all day to come up with something to say about that last call....
I can't come up with one single thing. All I have is tears....
I decided not to have Taps played at daddy's funeral....I just couldn't take it.
I believe that "last call" is the most precious thing I've ever heard.
Prayers sent Harley....that's all I know to say. :(

[copperdodge]

Good work Jeffrey.... I tried to make my way over at the funeral, but ya'll headed out to the car before I got over there....
