It is hard to picture a world without Randy in it. He's been a huge part of
our lives for so long and his presence will be missed. Mamma Pat and Randy
have been a second set of parents for us Chiappes for a long time and we took
for granted that it would always be that way. Randy was your go to guy if you
needed anything and he was always ready with a smile. Randy has been there for
all our momentous and sometimes sad occasions; quietly standing beside us
lending support. He was a devoted husband and a proud father who loved with
all his heart.
These last couple of days have been filled with lots of memory sharing and
smiling about things long in the past and stories about just last week but in
all the smiling and laughing there has been a dull void that cannot be filled.
I thank God that we have had so many wonderful "Randy Chappell"
memories from back to our first years living in Idaho and up to our time
together in March and April doing what Randy loved to do...cruising. A truer
friend and part of our family we could never have found and we are blessed to
have had you with us for the time we did. Vai con Dio Randy.

While I was trying to think of my fondest memory, I found a theme that stood
out more than just the memories. Randy always had the ability to make me truly
smile. The first memory was when he sang, "That's Amore," to Holly
and me in front of the all the people at the Italian Festival. Now that was
more along the lines of an embarrassed smile, but a smile still the same. The
next was while we were planning for the cruise and Randy talked about getting
a set of bell bottom pants made so he could wear them on the Lido deck. I
remember smiling and thinking, "Oh man, I cannot wait to see that!"
Towards the end of the cruise we went to see a comedian that missed the
punchlines a little more than hit them, but that did not stop Randy from
having a good time. It was all Randy could do to stay in his seat from
laughing, doing that quite laugh he had with the faint exhale and slapping his
leg with one hand. I just remember smiling watching Randy enjoy himself, but
that was the point. I only knew Randy for a short time, but from what I did
know, he always enjoyed himself and the enjoyed spending time with his friends
and family. I hold dear the smiles and memories that I was able to share with
Randy.

Randy was a GREAT guy. He will be missed by everyone whos life he
touched. He loved Patty dearly and got up on stage in front of hundreds
of people at our Italian Festa to sing to her for her birthday. He was one of
the most loyal members of our Italian lodge and an integral part of our Festa
committee. We are here for you Patty - all you have to do is call. 24/7.
You are in our prayers. John & Tina-Marie

It was just last week that Randy was telling me stories of the recent cruise.
It was so evident how much he enjoyed spending time with friends and
family. I was impressed with how Randy was always up for a good time and how
he tried to experience all that this life could offer. His life was a lesson
for us all, to enjoy life to its fullest.
I will also miss his sweet and thoughtful personality. If he knew of some
little thing that could possibly make your life easier-he could hardly wait to
share it. We will miss him.

My thoughts and prayers goes out to all of you at this time. I, too,
have many fond memories of Randy and the Chappell family, and I will always
cherish them. Even though I only came up to Idaho about once a year,
there was not a trip or an event that doesn't include a memory of Randy in it.
He certainly loved his wife and son, and when he sang at Bernadette and
Jason's wedding, one of his lasting impressions in my mind, you could just
tell how much his extended family meant to him. My love to Randy and to
all those whose lives he touched,
Sierra
