It is with great sadness we announced the passing of William (Cliff) Chapman on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, at the age of 88.
Cliff was the youngest brother of 4 other siblings Bob (predeceased), Ross (predeceased), Ola, and Orval (Patricia predeceased).
Cliff made many happy memories with his wife Cecelia at their home in the country, where he was most happy in the garden or enjoying a good meal (steak, bacon and eggs) with family and friends. Cliff always liked to raise a glass at the end of the day, tell a good story and have a trip down memory lane.
Cliff worked in his community helping many with odd jobs, and brought joy to all the family, friends and neighbors as he assisted with fixing many projects.
Cliff was a loving father to Gwen/Wendy (Rob), and step-dad to Julianne (Mark), and Wayne. Proud grandfather of Mackenzie (Zoe), Laurysa and Myles who held a special place in his heart. Fondly remembered by his nephew Thomas and his nieces Beverly, Shirley, Pat, and Sue to name a few.
A special thanks to the staff on the Lake unit at Maple Grove Community, Brampton. We would also like to extend a special thanks and appreciation to his private personal assistant Indy, who always advocated for Cliff as well as had him smiling and looking dapper.
Friends and family are welcome at Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen St. S. (Highway 50), Bolton on Monday morning, April 22, at 11:00am, with funeral service in the chapel at 12:00 noon. Interment will follow at Morningside Cemetery, Palgrave.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Alzheimer Society.

We will all miss Cliff and his sociable friendly personality. Recalling many times with the whole Chapman Clan with Cliff a valuable member and contributor to every occasion. As the youngest of all the cousins I was anxious to find Cliff and to talk and listen to his stories. At the many Edy reunions years ago Cliff made sure I was included in games and activities and I always appreciated that.
My sincere condolence to the whole family !
