Bruce F. Chapel passed away on April 13 in the 77th year of his life. Born on August 11, 1945 in Hampton, son of the late Sherman and Hildred Chapel, Bruce was a life-long resident of our town. After graduating from Windham High he went on to Windham Tech to study television and radio repair and owned Bruce’s Electronics for many years. A proud Vietnam Veteran, Bruce served in the U.S. Army. Returning to Hampton, he met his wife Lorraine, and her two sons, Marc and Craig Kelley, who he loved as his own. He was also a volunteer fireman for the Hampton Fire Department. His warm smile, friendliness, and kind words will be missed by all who knew him.

Predeceased by his wife, his parents, his sister Dana Ameer, his granddaughter Annalise Kelley, and his niece Kate Chapel, Bruce is survived by his two stepsons, Craig and his partner Terry, and Marc and his wife Lois, his grandson Devon Kelley, and his granddaughter Casey Kelley Bazzano and her husband Frank, his sister Ann Garrett and his brother Clark Chapel and his wife Connie, his brother-in-law Al Ameer and his sister-in-law Joan Burnore, and many nieces and nephews.
