Mr. Chamberlain will be missed by so many. He accomplished so much, and had a rich and full life. What a good example for us all. Larry and I send our deepest sympathy to the entire family.

Dear Rich, Sandy and family, My memories of your dad are of more recent years, sitting across from him at the alumni dinners and watching his gracious interactions with others. It was obvious that he was a true gentleman who loved his family and the community he lived in. You must be proud to have had such a wonderful role model who lived a long and productive life and gave so much of himself to others Becky Keister Carmer

To Mrs. Chamberlain, Charles, Rich, and family, I am so sorry to hear of your earthly loss in the death of Mr. Chamberlain. Although itâ€™s been many years since I have seen him, I consider myself blessed for having known him. I remember him best as part of the church family at Carlisle New Jersey Presbyterian Church. His many years of faithful service to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, both in the church and out, will remain an inspiration to all of us who knew him. May it be a comfort to you to know that having crossed the Jordan, Mr. Chamberlain has been welcomed into the loving arms of Jesus. What a joy when family and old friends shall meet again at the marriage feast of the Lamb!

Dear Richard, Mrs. Chamberlain and family; Loosing a loved one is difficult and I am so sorry for your loss. Remember he will live now in your memories. May God grant you comfort.

You have to admire a man who has done so much for the world and for his community - and who had such a wonderful family. My heart goes out to you for losing such a dear person.

Dear Richard, Sandy and Family, Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. May loving memories heal your hearts.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Chamberlain was a great man and so loved by so many. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I was so sorry to hear the news about Mr. Chamberlain from Mary Ellyn Sohn. He was our eighth grade teacher when we had to go to school in the basement of the Presbyterian church. So many memories from school and church...he'll be greatly missed. Sandra Gross Finley

On March 10, 1960 I was in the principals office at Carlisle Elementary School for the first time. I was a brand new student having just transferred from Franklin. Mr. Chamberlain called me into his office and in 20 seconds made me feel so welcome at a new school. He personally took me to my teacher Mrs. Landis. The next day he checked on me again and during the next 7 years he always remembered who I was by name. I did have the oppurtunity to visit his office several more times under less ideal conditions. I do not think that I have ever met a better man in my life. He personified the perfect parent, father, husband and administrator. My heart goes out to Rich and Sandy and the rest of the family.

To the family of Mr. Chamberlain, In my 3 high school years at Carlisle I was very aware of Mr. Chamberlains presence. I was very fortunatley to see and talk to him at the 2008 Alumni Dinner in June. My thoughts and prayers are with Charles and Richard and the rest of the family.

the Armstrong family wants you to know that you are in our prayers and that we are thinking of all of you during this trying time. Mr. Chamberlain was truly one of the pillars of our community!

We will miss our beloved brother in law and all the good memories of a fine person. The Jim Burton Family

Dear Aunt Mart, Charles, Rich and family, we are sorry to hear of uncle Budâ€™s passing. You both are such a Godly example of love, as I remember you always walking hand in hand. Uncle Bud was some of my inspiration to become a teacher. We will always have such sweet memories of him. I remember the time we came up with mom and dad to see the work on the train engineer of Uncle Bud painted on the side of the building. It was such a tribute to his great legacy. May God continue to comfort you and may you know you will be in our prayers over the next few weeks. Love, Ray amp; Susan Gibbs amp; Hannah Hodsdon

Dear Aunt Mart, Charles, Richard and family. My heartfelt prayers go out to all of you at this time.

I remember well Mr Chamberlain from my ten years at Carlisle. I particularly remember both his and Mrs Chamberlain's courtesy and generosity to me off campus. I consider myself very fortunate to have talked with both of them at the 2007 school alumni reunion, where Mr Chamberlain was in good humor and where everyone enjoyed his presence. He had a long, full life and will be fondly remembered and sorely missed. My sincerest condolences to Charles and Richard. Be secure in your faith.

Knowing Mr. Chamberlain as one of my role models as a teacher and a freind was a blessing to me. He will truly be missed.

All the years that Martha and I were in school and lived in Carlisle Mr. Chamberlain was a part of our lives. We will miss him greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Ed amp; Martha Dietz

We are deeply sorry for your loss and hope a kind word is enough to soften the pain. Your father was a wonderful man. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. To my knowledge, no one has ever made such a lasting impression on Carlisle as he #45; #45; #45;- He will be greatly missed. Ray Kirkpatrick

Having Bud as a teacher amp; coach was a great experience. He has always been a friend. He was the most successful basketball coach in Carlisle's history amp; I was glad to be a part of that. Having known the family for 68 years has been my pleasure. Our condolences to the family. Gene amp; Evodine Dale Baker

To Mrs. Chamberlain and children: I am so saddened to hear of Mr. Chamberlain's death - but what a wonderful life he led! His character and loving spirit influenced me greatly as a young child and teen. He was truly a great man and was a shining light to those who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be warmly remembered. May God comfort you in this time of loss.

We were very fortunate to have known Mr. Chamberlain growing up and going to school in Carlisle. He was a true leader and a man of honesty and integrity. Wealth is not in the bulk of your wallet, but the weight of your character and Mr. Chamberlain was the wealthiest man weâ€™ve ever known. It was also an honor to have lived on â€œChamberlain Roadâ€. Our hearts and prayers are with you.
