Mr. Chambers returned to Baltimore in 1957, and in 1960 he married Grace Bianculi Villacres, granddaughter of the South American painter Cesar Augusto Villacres.
He ran the N&D restaurant, which was part of the historic Rochambeau apartment and hotel complex, from 1958 to 1964. Then he began a career with First Investors Corp., selling mutual funds, insurance and other investments until he retired.
Mr. Chambers had a love of gardening and storytelling, and was well-read.
"When he played Trivial Pursuit, he knew all the answers," his daughter said. "For someone who didn't have any formal degrees, he knew everything."
