Well, once we published our first in a series of good (old) neighbors and asked for nominations, it didn’t take long to get an onslaught of nominations to feature Fair Haven’s Chum Chandler as a shining example of neighborliness.
So, Chum is our Retro Pic of the Day good neighbor.
Chandler, who passed away not long ago, was a native Fair Havenite, RFH grad, local businessman, Fair Haven Fire Company lifetime member and just all-around quirky, personable character. Anyone who knew him would tell you that he embodied all that’s good in this slice of suburbia.
He was known as a tall order of tough pull-yourself-up-by-the- bootstraps love always ready to lend a hand, share a good joke, poke a little fun and spread his zest for life and, yes, the town that he loved.
The man who was known as a good neighbor to the entire borough also believed in paying it forward; and he did just that.
Thank you to neighbor Chum Chandler. People are paying your message forward.
