To Leon, Lori and the rest of the family Mr. Chambers was respected and loved by all of us. We are going to miss his wisdom and martial arts abilities. He will long be remembered as a humble and highly accomplished instructor and student. May you rest with the Lord now Mr. Chambers. From all of us here at the school of Classical T'ai Chi and Related Internal Systems, be blessed.

Though I didn't know you personally, I have had the exceptional experience of meeting and becoming friends with your Grandaughter, Patty. I'm sure she very much takes after you (warm heart, great sense of humor and sincere) she's a pleasure and will carry on your legacy. My condolences to your family.

George. Linda and I are surely going to miss you as will all your friends at the Hazel Crest American Legion. You were an inspiration to us all.

Another comrade has been called to the High Command; he has gone to report to the Commander of all. Let us pray.
Rest easy, comrade, Your tour of duty is over.

Lorie and Family, My fondest memories of "Grandpa" during my time at Hanover Place were the times he would wait for his rides to church and his meetings. He so looked forward to them and singing to cheer others. His songs in Heaven will be heard often down here. Thanks for the memories, George.
