He could build you a brick mailbox or fireplace, or a big block wall. He could tile your bathroom and replace your toilet. He was an excellent machinist and worked on large engines. He loved to hunt and fish and more recently, hike, looking for arrowheads. One of the funnest things he loved to do, was grow his daughter, Alexa, giant pumpkins! He had his problems, like most of us do, but he always took care of his family and friends. He was very close to his mom, a real mammas boy. The last few years since she has been gone were really hard on him. He was proceeded in death by his mother, Jacqueline Chappell, brother, John Dineen, and sister, Sandee Dineen. He is survive by his father James Chappell, brother, Richard Dineen, sister, Cindy Lloyd, sister, Shawna Mullins (Kim), twin sister, Kelli Kohler (Steve) daughter, Alexa Chappell, many nieces and nephews, and many many cousins.
