USAF Colonel Veteran TEST PILOT Vietnam Amesbury, MA - Everett Allan Chambers passed on Sunday, September 23, 2018, surrounded by family in his home in Amesbury. Always embracing the next horizon, Ev first pondered destinations from Yirrell Beach at Point Shirley in Winthrop, MA, where he was born September 28, 1932. Graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he pursued the wild blue yonder by joining the United States Air Force. His 63rd Military Airlift Wing assignment to Donaldson AFB in Greenville, SC, introduced him to Bobbie Ann Moseley, where their marriage took place in 1960. Global assignments included Germany, Antarctica, and a year-long deployment to Thailand, while Ev’s C-5 Galaxy test pilot duties took him throughout Europe and Asia. With Bobbie and children Nancy, Doug, and Kathy, Ev steered the family station wagon cross-country to new homes in IL, CA, SC, MA, AL, and VA, to include a four-year assignment to the Pentagon. He returned to the 63rd MAW as Vice Wing Commander at Norton AFB before retiring as a Colonel in 1980. After ten years with McDonnell Douglas in CA, the White Mountains of New Hampshire beckoned next, where he and Bobbie bought and operated the Littleton Diner, truly uncharted territory! Returning to MA in 2008, Ev and Bobbie enjoyed their proximity to Doug and his wife, Linda, and grandchildren Lacey, Cameron, and Annica in Amesbury, and regularly shared time in San Diego with Nancy and her husband, Billy Spain, and Kathy and grandsons Brennan and Jake Welcher. Happy explorations throughout New England included friends and family from far and wide, and trips to West Virginia brought fun visits with Ev’s brother, Robert J. Chambers. Ev received a most spectacular sunset farewell before he departed for his next horizon on Sunday.
