Story shared: Ivan's "EAGLES"

Thu, 07 Jul 2011 10:10:07 EDT

Years ago when we were camping at mineral springs campground in stafford springs ct.Ivan came back from a walk around the surrounding area very excited. He said "you have to to come see the eagles in a nearby field".A group of us went with him,traipsing through a pasture,through some cow patties,up hills,over a fence and into a clearing.He pointed at the trees and said " There they are." we all looked in the trees and saw a few very large birds perched up there. On closer observation we discovered they were Turkey Buzzards. Hence, Ivan's Eagles. Thanks for the memories Ivan. We miss you. Oh and also He could always find his way into Montreal Canada but got lost coming out of there.

Papa was amazing. He was a father of 4 and a Grandfather of 8. He taught us new things everyday. Papa always loved feeding the birds, So when I would come up, Everyday he would sit outside and feed the birds and smoke his cigarette. He loved cracking jokes on everyone, It made people smile and he loved seeing people smile. My mom was the oldest of the 4, Charlotte Laugherty. My Aunt Laurie was the second a oldest. My Aunt Robin is the youngest of the girls. Also my Uncle Joey is the youngest out of all the kids. My mom would tell me stories all the time about her childhood with Papa. So many stories to tell and they would all funny. Papa was always a funny country man. He loved guns. Every time I would see Papa and be on my phone, he would yell at me and tell me not to use it, but I still did and he would just give me that look. Papa loved to laugh, he loved to see people smile. There are so many memories to share about Papa. He was an amazing father, husband, and grandfather.. R.I.P Papa... I love you and I hope your watching over all of us. Your Granddaughter Maya..

My dad liked picking on people, especially his granddaughters. If he picked on you that meant he liked you.

Everyday Papa would be outside feeding those birds. He always mentioned that he has one named "tweety". His day was never complete without feeding the birds. He also enjoyed spending time outside with his dog Queenie. But don't worrie Papa Meme and the family have been feeding the birds and spending lots of time with Queeny. R.I.P Papa I love you You will always be in our hearts <3 Love your grandaughter Sarah

Although I never knew Ivan Chaplin, I know he was a great man by what I see in his daughter, Robin Hawes. She is a wonderful person that I am very honored to be able to work with. I was also honored to have the opportunity to speak with Robin's Mom, Sandra Chaplin, last week. By our short conversation, I know that this was a very loving and wonderful family - whom God takes great pleasure in. I know how difficult this time is; but I hope that being surrounded by loved ones and knowing that Ivan is with God as we speak will help to ease the pain of not seeing him. Just remember, Ivan will always be with you - in all the things you love...you will see his presence in all the little things!! Love and God Bless!! Linda Barkley
