MIRROR LAKE — Robert Chalmers, Jr., 68, died Monday evening, May 23, at his 
home in Mirror Lake, from an aggressive form of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 
(ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gehrig's disease), which was diagnosed two months earlier.

Bob was born December 13, 1936 in Elizabeth N.J., the son of the late Robert 
and Lillie (Dunn) Chalmers, both born in Scotland. In 1973, Bob and his family 
moved to Wolfeboro. He and his wife Susan owned and operated the Bittersweet 
Restaurant in Wolfeboro for 10 years, selling it in 1985. He worked in the real 
estate market as well as construction. In 1996, he built his dream home on 
Mirror Lake.

Bob was a U.S. Army Veteran serving in the 101st Airborne Division. He most 
recently worked with the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro where he was greatly 
respected for his carpentry skills, among many other talents.

Bob loved fishing, gardening, card games, antique cars, everything Civil War, 
and his annual trip to the Hershey car show. Bob was loved by a great many 
people for his charming sense of humor, his wonderful outlook on life, his 
persistence to detail, his willingness to help others, and his easy smile.

Bob is survived by his daughters Bonnie Stout and her husband Bill of 
Kensington, Conn., and Robin Mason and her husband Jerod of Bedford, Mass.; two 
grandchildren, Aliana Stout and Kayleigh Mason; a sister Barbara Stoll and her 
husband Erik of Interlachen, Fla.; dear friends Brian Hennessy, who was like a 
son to him, and Brian's wife Abigail Adams of Boylston, Mass.; nieces, nephews, 
and his devoted dog Maggie, who was always by his side. His loving wife Susan 
(Henry) Chalmers died three years ago.

A celebration of Bob's life will be held Saturday, July 23 at 4 p.m. at the 
Wright Museum. Burial will be in the St. Andrews Episcopal Church memorial 
garden in New Providence, N.J. at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bob's name to the Wright Museum, 
P.O. Box 1212, Wolfeboro, NH 03894.

Lord Funeral Home, Wolfeboro, assisted the family with arrangements.
