Philip P. Chambers

He was born in Peoria, Illinois, on January 30, 1953, the son of Robert O. and Raffaela B. (Mingolelli) Chambers.

He was a graduate of Medford High School in Medford, Massachusetts, and worked in deliveries at the Manchester Union Leader. He had previously worked in bookbinding and computer programming.

Philip fought a courageous battle with Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma for many years. He had a great sense of humor and a loving and cheerful disposition. He enjoyed all types of sports and had a phenomenal recall of sports information, statistics, scores, batting averages, etc. Those who knew Philip will remember his tee shirt which read "I'd Be Rich If Mom Didn't Sell My Baseball Card Collection", but more so, he will be remembered as a gentleman and a sweetheart.

He was predeceased by his mother in 2010.

Chambers, and partner Richard Descheneaux, of Derry, New Hampshire; and one brother, James O. Chambers, of Medford, Massachusetts.

There are no calling hours, and services will be private to the family. Memorial donations may be made to: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains, NY 10605.
