    Johnny and I worked together surveying roads for the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department years ago. He was a hard dependable worker and a really good person. He will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with the Chambers family. Sincerely, GT Kirksey Point Cedar, AR

    I always remember uncle Johnny as being the "story teller" of the family. He was sharp witted and humorous and kept us all amused by the way he could tell you the simplest story. He was a real good guy and gone way too soon. Our sympathies to Marsha,Tony and his family. We will mis our beloved uncle.
