away peacefully at Northwest
Community Hospital in Arlington

Beloved husband and soulmate of

years, loving Dad and best friend of

Tom J. Chatterton, hero and older
brother of Betty A. (Bill) Stuart.
Tom is deeply loved and respected
and will be greatly missed by the
many people who’s lives and hearts
he touched with his kind, gentle
spirit, warm laugh and selfless
expressions of compassion and love.
Upon his passing, his final gift was
the donation of his corneas to Gift
of Hope in honor of his niece Joanne
Netz (Michigan), who so generously
donated her kidney to a friend in
need and in appreciation of the loss
of sight that his son, Tom,
personally experienced and was
blessed to regain through the
miracles of The Lord and medicine.
Preceded in death by parents William
Y. and Helen (Maurice) Chatterton.
Tom is also survived by

Huisinga and her husband Don
(Arizona) and Ginny (Guimont) Robert
(New York), five nieces and nephews
(Jill, Joanne, Sara, Kristin and

nephews (Sam, Ben, Elizabeth,
Sophie, Max, Sally and Penelope).
