Conversations with Leonard Chapple
October 25th, 2013
In May 2010, fearing it would be Leonard Chapple’s last journey from the southwest of England to Texas, my younger brother Dean and I flew to Houston and interviewed him about his life. Armed with a video camera, lights, mics and a black velvet backdrop we discovered the legend behind a man we proudly called Granddad.
On March 15, 2013 Leonard Frederick Chapple passed away, he was 89 years old.
