Robert Chapman has passed away

Robert Chapman was perhaps best known to JFK researchers as a friend of Mary Ferrell.  It's almost like they were attached at the hip.  He was taking such care of her that at one time I thought he was Mary's son.

 He had a stroke a few years ago and never completely recovered from that.

Robert ran a restaurant in Memphis called Molly's.
