Gene Chapman “Mr. PigBowl”
1938-2017
September 24th, 2017 was a sad day for PigBowl and Guns and Hoses. Born in Waukegan, IL and residing in Sacramento, Gene Chapman is the only person that was dedicated and participated in this long-time charity football game for all 43 years. His love and passion for this organization and football game enriched every committee member, player, cheerleader, and all our friends & family. He touched every person involved in this organization for over four decades. He will forever be missed. It was his words that became our motto. “there’s no losers in this game charity always wins”. We will miss you Geno now and forever! We have lost an amazing man who embodied what it meant to give more than to receive. He gave more of himself to those he helped, coached, loved, and to his community.
He will never be forgotten!!!!
