Obit for Amos C. Chandler

Amos C. Chandler of Midwest City passed away Tuesday, October 24, 2000.
He was born on April 8, 1911 in Rankin, Oklahoma to John and Lucy Beaty
Chandler.  He had lived in Strong City and Cheyenne years ago.

Amos was a member of Country Estates Baptist Church and a retired
deacon.

He was employed at Tinker for many years and retired from a long Civil
Service career.  He was part of the original group that trained in San
Antonio for the opening of Tinker Air Force Base.  He worked in the
Inspector General's office as an Air Inspector and then spent four years
heading the Inspector General's office in Topeka, Kansas.  After returning
to the Inspector General's office at Tinker for several years, he worked for
a short time in the Supploy Directorate's Hi-Value Office.  In 1959 he
transferred to DMM as a Logistics Specialist on V.I.P. aircraft.  He
participated in the "shakedown" inspection on Air Force One in 1962 and
retired from Tinker in 1972.

He was an avid golfer, bowler, and had just recently finished bowling
participation.

His greatest achievement was bieng a good daddy to his children.  "We
love your for this, daddy.  You were always there for us, supporting us in
all that we attempted and always there for us whether we succeeded or
failed.  The Bible says we are to honor our parents and take care of them in
their old age.  This we have done and are grateful to have had the joy of
doing.  Now we release you, Daaddy, to our Lord Jesus Christ in Heaven."

He was preceded in death by his wife of 70 years, Emtessie Lofton
