Born in Bethel, NC, he was the son of the late James Cecil Chapman and the late Dicey Louise Ward Chapman and was educated in the Troy City Public Schools.



Bobby had been employed as a laborer at the former Adirondack Steel in Watervliet and Port of Albany.

He enjoyed simple pleasures like western movies, old-school R&B, eating delicious food, especially his sisters' and daughter's cooking, but most of all, his greatest joy in life was spending time with his family and close friends.
