Chance was a true Gentlemen, always smiling and lending a hand. I had the pleasure to work with him at MCI Flight Operations, I remember him bringing in sausage biscuits with “Momma’s gravy” something he looked forward to eating and always happy to share. All my best to his family during this difficult time.

Fun times eating pizza and drinking RC Cola or having summer time cookouts, and picnics at Bull Run Park, with loads of laughter from Chance's wonderful quick wit. Always one of the sweetest gentlemen I ever had the pleasure to know. I am grateful to have journeyed on this earth with him, and I know he is enjoying Heaven as I write these words!

To the family, Losing someone that means so much to you is very hard, so I hope that you can find comfort in the words at Psalm 46:1 and 2 Corinthians 1:3,4. Please accept my condolences during this time of sorrow.
