It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Eric Chamberlain at the age of 92 years, on April 15, 2023 at Chatham Kent Health Alliance in Chatham, Ontario. Beloved husband of the late Elsie Chamberlain (2012). Loving father of Mark Chamberlain (Lee Ann) and David Chamberlain (Deborah). Remembered and missed by grandchildren, Gareth and Rhiannon (Mark), Christopher, David and Katelyn (David), extended family in both Canada and the UK, and longtime friends and neighbours. Predeceased by his brothers Ken, Alun and Wynn of Holyhead, Wales.
Eric was born in Holyhead, Wales, UK in 1931. After graduating from school and apprenticing in Rugby, England as a mechanical engineer, Eric married the love of his life, Elsie, and together they immigrated to Canada in 1954 to start their new life in Windsor, Ontario and later to reside in Chatham. Eric was an industry expert in high pressure gas cylinders and, along with two partners, established and operated a factory in Tilbury, Ontario which produced and sold these cylinders. Eric became a Canadian citizen but never lost his Welsh roots and often told stories of growing up in the port city of Holyhead in North Wales. As a boy, Eric loved to play soccer and continued his love for the sport throughout his life. If Manchester United was on television, you could always find him front and centre cheering for his favourite team.
A private family gathering will occur at a later date to celebrate Eric’s life.
Those wishing to made a donation in memory of Eric are asked to consider the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
