Death of President Chapple
Recently, I was reading through the Russia, Moscow page and found that
President Chapple died of cancer on Oct 13, 1997. Since his son was in
our mission, I felt I should mention it here as well. We offer our deepest
sympathy to the entire family.
This is from a letter from a man in his stake:
"President Richard Chapple, Russia Moscow Mission President
from 1993-96 died of cancer last Thursday [Oct 9] in
Tallahassee, Florida. He was buried yesterday, October 13.
He was struck with the disease about 8 months ago, and failed
rapidly. His loss is deeply felt by his wife and children
and the stake over which he presided for almost 10 years."

There is a memorial to him at the Russia, Moscow Webpage.
