John J. Chambers, 72, of Lansdowne, PA, passed away on Thursday, July 10, 2025. Born in Darby, PA, to the late John and Marguerite Chambers, survived by his sister, Theresa Strum, brother-in-law Bill, and nephew David of Bayonne, NJ. John graduated from West Catholic High School for boys in 1970, trailer camp DCCC in 1972, and La Salle College in 1974. His love of selling got him a sales position with Hover Co. After a realignment, he acquired a position as an installer with the Weatherization program in Delaware County. Eventually, he worked his way up to Weatherization Specialist out of the Office of Energy Conservation & Weatherization when he retired. His favorite pastime was Horse Racing, but he enjoyed winter months skiing or ice skating. Visitation on Thursday, July 17, 2025 from 9am at St. Philomena Church, Mass following at 10am. Interment Fernwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to St. Philomena Memorial Fund, 41 E. Baltimore Ave., Lansdowne, PA 19050.
