He received his commission as Ensign in 1944 and achieved the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade before being honorably discharged in November 1945 with a battle star for service at Okinawa. After the war, Dr. Chambers and his wife made their home in Lexington and opened a successful opto-metric practice.

Several years ago when asked to reflect on what life meant to him, Dr. Chambers replied in a published article: "It surely is unusual how life turns out, I had many desires to be a baseball player but had no talent; then I wanted to be a medical doctor but eventually became an optometrist and enjoyed every minute of it. Makes no difference what you are as long as you enjoy it.

Living has been fun. I'd like to live forever." Pafford Funeral Home 901-968-2544 Death Notice Policy: The Jackson Sun provides free death notices for families in our area.
