David S. Chamberlain

OSWEGO – David S. Chamberlain, 73, passed away peacefully at Oswego Hospital on Monday evening due to complications from COVID-19.

Born on May 10, 1950, he was the second son of the late Howard and Stella Zimney Chamberlain.  He graduated from Oswego High School and SUNY Oswego and was employed by Oswego County as a Probation Officer for over 20 years.  David was an avid runner before becoming disabled and participated in many marathons, half marathons, and other road races in the United States and Canada.  He was a private man who enjoyed simple pleasures…golfing, watching Syracuse sports, Yankee Baseball, and listening to Simon & Garfunkle and James Taylor music.

Surviving are his wife of 50 years Carol Gallager Chamberlain, his son Andy Chamberlain, his two brothers Dan (Cathy) Chamberlain of Oswego and Mark Chamberlain of Honeoye Falls; his two sisters Janet (Bill) Drews and Diane (Andy) Catalone both of Oswego; his brothers-in-law Chuck (Carol) Gallagher of Mississippi, Jim (Karen) Gallagher of Volney, Dan Williams of Clifton Park and several nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, David was predeceased by his brother Richard Chamberlain in 1995 and sister-in-law Mary Anne Williams in 2010.  There will be private visitation and burial at St. Peter Cemetery at the convenience of the family.  If so desired memorial contributions may be made in David’s name to a charity of one’s choice.

Arrangements are under the caring guidance of Nelson Funeral Home.
