MAYSVILLE — Beside the doorway of the home at 214 Main Street in Maysville, is a sign that reads “If I should live forever and all my dreams come true, my memories of love will always be of you.”

On the morning or March 14, 2018, Charles E. (Chuck) Sapp, the resident of that house, was reunited with the love of his life, his wife, Mary Frances (Frankie) Sapp.

Chuck Sapp was born Sept. 20, 1931, in Nicholas Country, to Alfred Garr and Alma Dot Mann Sapp.

Chuck worked at Charles H. Arnold Distributing and Pepsi Cola Bottling Company and retired from Dravo Lime Company. He and Frankie owned The Diner and later managed Highland Ridge Apartments for fourteen years.

Chuck was a faithful member of St. Patrick Church where he served as Lectern. He was a member of the Orangeburg Lions Club serving in many capacities including president and, on the district level, zone chairman and region chairman. He was also a supporter of Relay for Life of Mason County, working with his wife as accounting chair and was a volunteer for RSVP.

Chuck received many awards for his community service, the most prestigious being the Melvin Jones Fellowship and recognition as a Kentucky Colonel, but he always said his biggest reward was being a father, grandfather, and great grandfather.

Chuck Sapp is survived by two daughters, Kristi (Frankie Dale) Arthurs and Tina (Russ) Curtis; two sons, Charlie (Gay) Sapp and Mike (Hope) Sapp; 10 grandchildren, Eric (Cayeann) Cowan, Mary Jo (Steven) Shepherd, Sean (Kara) Sapp, Zac Robinson, Maggie (Jamie) Price, Khrysten (Chris) Childers, Chase Sapp, Paige Sapp, Tabbatha Sapp and Michaela Sapp and nine great-grandchildren, Eli and Addison Cowan, Mary Kate and Jack Shepherd, Brynlee Robinson, Easton Price and Hadleigh, Maverick and Rhett Childers.
