Not sure what to say?

Still miss the great times we shared on the softball field, watching movies or shopping at the general stores. He is missed lots.

Mr. Ambler, you will never be forgotten...always in my thoughts.
Nancy (Reinhart) Epstein

Just learned of Mr. Ambler's passing and it doesn't seem possible... He is an immortal in the memories of countless adults who were once teenagers sitting in his classroom, mesmerized by his "wicked" sense of humor, his passion for literature, film and knowledge of all things. He was a walking encyclopedia of information both academic and non. I came to appreciate Poe's writings because of Mr. Ambler. I read most of them as a high school sophomore and memorized so much of The Raven. I have...

A wonderful teacher. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My fondest memories of high school were of Mr. Ambler. His classes were the best. We would often return to his class during lunch or after school to watch Super Dave Osborne or would go over his house to watch movies. He was the greatest teacher and person and he will be missed.

Mr Ambler was a great teacher and helped me care about school when I was at a age when I couldn't care less about school. All of us who had him as a teacher were very lucky.

I still remember the great movie posters on his classroom wall, and reading the first ever detective story by Poe. I went to visit him a year after graduating and he took the time to let me show him the clunker '70 Camaro I had at the time. Condolences to the Ambler family who need to know that his former students loved him.

Chas was a contributor and supporter of Westerns... All'Italiana! for many years. He loved Spaghetti westerns and I received many a letter and contribution from him over the years. He will be missed. Condolences to his family, many of us share your loss.
