In Memory of Bob Chamblerlain

I wanted to start a thread to show support for Joe and Bob Chamberlain's family. Please place well-wishes here and Joe can direct family, friends and colleagues of Bob here to show our support for them in their time of grief.

I met and spoke with Bob a few times, a friendly man with a good sense of humor and a welcome smile. When I told him I was a friend of Joe, he would say "I won't hold that against you" with a big grin.

Pilot, veteran, father, grandfather, friend, mentor and I am sure a host of other labels have been placed upon him. His passing marks a sad day for aviation and our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Bob. Clear skies and tail winds, Bob.

It's a shame I never met the man; I've heard so much about him. Edna Mae and I extend sincere condolences to Joe
and his wife, and the Chamberlain family. Fair winds and following seas.....

He clearly lived life to the full and was willing to share it with anyone. I never met him but am fortunate to know people like him and at a time like this you get a feeling as to how much they are missed.

Best wishes to all his family and friends

I have never met Bob, but I have heard wonderful things about him from Joe and Eric. I also have seen many pictures of the man, and he seemed like a true and honest man. He devoted his life to aviation and his family. He shall be missed!

The World is now alittle less bright at the passing of such a great man... Father, Grandfather, Pilot and Teacher, one and all great things to accomplish...

Our heartfelt condolances to you Joe and the enitre Chamberlain Family....
