Lillian, I was so saddened to hear of Mr. Chaney's passing. Dave and I were in Alaska when I got word. You and he were always very special to me. I'll never forget him asking me if I was 'expecting' the day I was interviewed for my job at Hillsboro, (it was the style of dresses back then). I hope God grants you peace and comfort.
Sincerely,
Anne Birkenmeier
Louis was one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known. He embodied the principles of the Christian religion he believed in so truly and was a real inspiration to those of us who had the privilege of knowing him. His knowledge, humor and wit made him a delight to be around, and his obvious love for Lillian was a delight to see. I will miss him in our Sunday School class, but I know he is with his Lord now.
Our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Chaney, the boys and their families. He was a mentor to me as a school administrator and a great example as a person. I certainly enjoyed our out of schools conversations about baseball and Puxico basketball. After retirement I asked how he enjoyed his life and he said "Chuck, the toughest decisions I have to make now are.... Do I hit a nine iron or wedge?"
He will be missed
Chuck and Vicki Martin
Thinking of all of you with love and prayers to each of you. Mr. Chaney will be sadly missed by all .... he touch all our lives in some way as he led our lives through school..love to all of you
