Paul Chisman Obituary

Paul LeRoy Chisman 80 of Hanover, Colorado went to his heavenly home on July 22, 2016 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was born to Roy and Ruth Chisman on November 8, 1935 in Hanover, Colorado.

He graduated from Hanover High School in 1953. He was married to the love of his life, Carol Jean Geist on October 24, 1958 at Central Church of the Nazarene in Colorado Springs. He served in the United States Army from 1959 to 1961. While serving in Hawaii, their oldest daughter, Brenda was born. After returning to Colorado Springs, their youngest daughter Sheryl was born.

Paul worked for Transit Mix Concrete Company where he retired after 34 years. Paul was very active in his community. As a teenager he helped raise money to build the Hanover Community Church where he served on the church board for many years. He was a charter member of the Hanover Volunteer Fire Department.

His favorite hobbies included anything with cars or tractors. He loved to go to the stock car races every Saturday night and the Pikes Peak Hill Climb every year.

Paul loved spending time with his family. He never met a stranger. At an early age he had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and serving Him was evident in the way he lived daily.

He is survived by his wife Carol, daughters Brenda (Tony) Hammer, Sheryl (Randy) Saine, granddaughters Emily (Justin) Golding, Kendra (Matt) Willson and Kelsey Saine, great grandchildren Tressie & Gunner Golding and Titus and Tucker Willson.

A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, July 28, 2016 at 11:00 am at Hanover Junior Senior High School. 17050 S Peyton Hwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80928.

Memorial contributions can be made to the Hanover Fire Department, Hanover Community Church and Pikes Peak Hospice
