Wilfred (Bill) Chapman
14/06/1924 - 14/06/2011

Wilfred (Bill) Chapman was born on the 19th April 1924. He passed away on Tuesday 14th June aged 87 years.

Bill was a former WWA Masters Weightlifter and competed for approximately fifteen years.  Bill had an unquenchable thirst for life. His personality was of an exuberant, friendly and enquiring nature.  He was keenly interested in everything around him and was passionate about weightlifting amongst his many other sporting interests.

He participated as State level Masters Weightlifting in WA up until 2010 - then aged 86 years.  An amazing achievement. His previous history in weightlifting took in numerous National Masters Weightlifting around Australia and IWF Masters Weightlifting Competitions around the world. He did these competitions with aplomb and enthusiasm and his elder statesman age was never a consideration in attending these events.

Here was a Master to be admired and respected.

Our sincere condolences to his family on their loss.  He will be sadly missed in weightlifting circles.

Rest In Peace Bill
