ll as cared for many different animals. His love for animals was timeless, whereas, over the next 30 years, he raised cows, donkeys, llamas, sheep, chickens, ducks, goats, cats, dogs, and many horses. Horses were his favorite. There was little, mentally, or physically, he could not do if he decided on it. Frank was a great example to his family of what hard work, perseverance, and a keen wit, can accomplish if you accept the challenge of one nail or one tree at a time. He will be missed. Left to cherish Frank's memory is his loving wife of 72 years, Marie, his children: Linda (Mark) Westgate, Frank (Terri) Chapman Jr., Garry (Ann) Chapman, ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Irene, his son Jeffry, daughters Frances and Mae, and brother Charles C. Chapman Jr. A memorial service will be held on Monday February 12, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. at Northminster Presbyterian Church (1416 20th Street, Ames, Iowa 50010) with a time of fellowship to follow.
