CHATSON, Francis Bryon

Feb 06, 2013

At his home in Denbigh, Ontario on Thursday January 31, 2013, Francis Chatson in his 64th year. Francis was first taken to Vennachar Free Methodist Church when he was 6 months old and has attended that church ever since. For the past 25 years he played the guitar with his wife Tony playing the piano for every service. His loyalty to the church was only matched by his faith in God. His every step was only taken with prayer to God for guidance. His faithfulness to God was only matched by his pride in that he was the fourth generation of the Chatson family living in the original homestead. He will be remembered fondly by friends and family for his marvelous musical talents in playing the guitar, banjo, fiddle, and mandolin and that he was entirely self taught. He also loved to invent things and made a steam furnace for the house, as well as a band saw mill. He was also an excellent carpenter and made beautiful furniture. Predeceased by his father Herb, mother Alice, sister Lenora, son Geoffrey. He will be sadly missed by his wife Antonia and daughter Irene, brothers Herb (Sherrill) and Harold (June). Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. The family will receive friends at the Vennachar Free Methodist Church on Monday February 4, 2013 from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. and on Tuesday February 5th from 2-4 p.m. where Funeral Service will be held at 4:00 p.m. Donations to the Vennachar Free Methodist Church Operating budget would be appreciated.
