Richard Otis Chapman passed away peacefully on Nov. 17, 2020, in Key West, Florida. Richard was born in New Haven, Connecticut on March 19, 1943, to the late Otis and Elinor Chapman. He grew up in Branford with his older siblings, Janice and Alan.
One of Dickâs most legendary feats was the day he decided to row across Long Island Sound from his home in Branford, Connecticut. He arrived that night on a beach in Long Island, New York and was taken in by a group of people he met at a bonfire. The next day he rowed back to Branford, and his mother thought he was missing because all she could see was an empty boat drifting with the oars up in the air. It turns out he was so exhausted, he had stretched out for a rest.
