===Robert Franklin Chandler Sr===
{{incomplete}}
Robert Franklin Chandler Sr. (8 February, 1906 - 27 December, 1977) was Bob's father and Chris's paternal grandfather.
Born and raised a Baptist in a rural area of {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County}}, Alabama, he was the son of a farmer and a {{w|day laborer}} Joseph Jessie Chandler and Martha Headley. He was the 9th out of 12 children in the family, 3 of whom died infancy. After dropping out of high school in his freshman year, he worked at a steel mill before moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area at age 18, where he found work as an insurance agent. In June 1962, Robert, a Baptist, married Jean Hollomon, a Methodist—the daughter of a pharmacist—when they were both at a young age of 20, eventually having their only child, Bob, a year later.
After Bob was born, presumably taking the recommendation of his wife and his father-in-law, Robert worked as a pharmacist for a few years before they moved back to Alabama in the early 1930s, living in {{w|Sylacauga, Alabama|Sylacauga}}. There, he worked for almost 20 years as a supply office worker for textile industry {{w|Avondale Mills}} (excluding a few years of military works for World War 2), where his siblings was also working at. Jean would later also briefly work at Avondale. Despite his steady employment, which provided an income of around $32,000 annually, the family faced financial struggles, as later recounted by Bob in a letter detailing their issues with poverty. Robert's wife, Jean, would unexpectedly pass away at a young age of 39 in May 1945, shortly before Bob finished high school. Robert Sr would later get remarried in April 1949 to Dorothy Julia Wolfe—the daughter of a lumber grader—who has a daughter from a previous marriage and he would later adopt her.
In 1955, Robert and his family moved to {{w|Winston-Salem}}, North Carolina & settled at the 6-room apartment in the neighborhood of Piedmont Park right next to {{w|Smith Reynolds Airport}}, where they stayed for the next 12 years. Robert soon found employment as a merchant patrolman (or security guard) for a {{w|Western Electric}}'s plant building, the same company his son Bob was working at as an electrical engineer. In February 1967, however, Robert Sr was told by his landlord that he has been evicted from his Piedmont Park apartment home with no reason given, and as a result, Robert took legal action against Winston-Salem Housing Authority over Forsyth Superior Court to keep his family home. The Chandlers were allowed to remain in their Piedmont Park apartment while the case were on appeal and ongoing, but they would later lose the case in the same year, subsequently moving to a 6-room house in the neighborhood of Forest Park, nearby {{w|Bowman Gray Stadium}} & {{w|Winston-Salem State University}}. Robert would later retire in 1970 at age 64, after 15 years in the security service and later passed away in December 1977 at age 71 due to 3 months of late stage cancer. He was Chris' last grandparent to die.
From 1950 to 1962, Robert and his wife Dorothy had seven children, including Wayne Chandler in January 1955 and twin daughters Betty & Joan Chandler in April 1962. From various newspapers, Robert was regarded as a great loving husband and father, who had a hard time fighting tooth and nail for his family to survive. One of the examples is in 1966, believing his 16-year old son Ray would have been electrocuted at his job, rushed to his work place to save him and called fire department and rescue team after he failed to find him in the building.
===Joseph Otto Weston===
Joseph Otto "Joe" Weston (3 October, 1896 - 8 April, 1955), was Barb's father and Chris's maternal grandfather.
Born and raised in rural area of {{w|Red Oak, Virginia}}, he was the 4th child out of 5th and the youngest son of a farmer Joseph Edward Chandler Jr. and Sarah Ann Hamilton. Up until he was around 5 years old, he was {{w|unbreeched}}, meaning he wore girly clothes at a very young age. Dropping out of school at 5th grade, Joe started working on the farm at an early age his whole life. His father Joseph Jr. and grandfather Joseph "John" Weston Sr., were both tobacco farmers and Joe himself would later become a tobacco farmer and also a carpenter.
He continued working on the farm while living with his parents (excluding a brief military works for World War 1) until he was 30 years old, when he married a 15 years old daughter of tobacco farmer Carrie Edna Wynn of {{w|South Hill, Virginia|South Hill}}. They were married in Carrie's mother's hometown {{w|Warrenton, North Carolina}} in February 1927. From 1927 to 1950, they had 8 children together, including Corrina (1934), Barbara (1941), Harriet (1947) and Wayne (1950) and raised them in a low-income farming household in Red Oak. In his later life during World War 2 (1942), Joe was assigned to work as a carpenter for around a year to build a military base Fort Pickett (now {{w|Fort Barfoot}}) in {{w|Blackstone, Virginia}}, 50 miles northeast of Red Oak.
Joe would soon get into a couple incidences that would soon get to his death. When Barb was two years old, she witnessed his father falling off the roof, almost killing himself while painting his house. About 12 years later Joe would instantly pass away due to broken neck after falling off under a rear wheel of his horse drawn wagon while at work hauling woods. His body was discovered when a driverless horse & wagon arrived at a nearby service station. Barbara was 13 when he was killed and the younger children, Madeline, Harriet and Wayne were 11, 8 and 5 years old respectively.

'''Dr. William M. Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919) was a osteopath and Confederate army soldier who was Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather and Chris's great-great grandfather.
Bob's maternal great-grandfather '''Dr. William M. Teer''' (29 Mar 1837 - 19 Oct 1919) was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}} and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with 7 siblings. They later moved to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside of {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, working as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio.

He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.
 
William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."


In October 1861, William and his younger brother Wiley (1839 - 1862), at age 24, enlisted in Confederate Army at {{w|San Antonio}} while his older brother, James (1830 - 1863), enlisted in the Union Army.

Robert Franklin Chandler Sr

Robert Franklin Chandler Sr. (8 February, 1906 - 27 December, 1977) was Bob's father and Chris's paternal grandfather.

Born and raised a Baptist in a rural area of Chilton County, Alabama, he was the son of a farmer and a day laborer Joseph Jessie Chandler and Martha Headley.

Joseph Otto Weston

Joseph Otto "Joe" Weston (3 October, 1896 - 8 April, 1955), was Barb's father and Chris's maternal grandfather.

Born and raised in rural area of Red Oak, Virginia, he was the 4th child out of 5th and the youngest son of a farmer Joseph Edward Chandler Jr. and Sarah Ann Hamilton.

Dr. William M. Teer (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919) was a osteopath and Confederate army soldier who was Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather and Chris's great-great grandfather.

Born in Neshoba County, Mississippi, and grew up in Angelina County, Texas since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to Hopkins County outside Cumby in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.
