Chandler always worked on my dad’s old cars ,my dad needed vehicle to get back-and-forth to Philadelphia and Chandler made sure he stayed on the road he was a good man
Chandler was a wonderful, selfless person. He never hesitated to help with any mechanical problem my husband and I might have had. He was friendly and easy to be around. I have missed talking to him the past few years. May he Rest In Peace. He was one of a kind.
Sincerely,
Sharon Journey
