How are successors removed in Chain Of Responsibility Pattern?

How are successors removed, one by one, in the Chain Of Responsibility Pattern?
It gets addeds like the code below:

larry.SetSuccessor(sam);

sam.SetSuccessor(tammy);

No one ever explains how these objects are removed from the successor collection.

Could anyone clarify how this is done?

Hi,
sorry but I think I didn't get your question,
whay do you mean by "how these objects are removed from the successor collection"
1. why you want to remove those oobjects?
2.you do not have to remove them, you can set them to another successor.

if my answer don't appropriate to your question, explain more clearly your question.
Thanks
