In 1956 they moved to New Jersey where they lived until Vi's death in 1973. In 1980, Lambert remarried and relocated to his last home in New Smyrna Beach, Florida with his current wife Mildred. Lam grew up in Concordia , Missouri along with his two brothers and three sisters. After a brief interlude at college, he enlisted in the Army and served until 1945. He wed Vi in 1945, and in 1956 relocated to New Jersey . There, he was a civilian employee for the Army Signal School, and later for Strategic Command Intelligence, US Government, Department of the Army until his retirement in 1975. He was a lifelong member of the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church. He recently organized a men's Bible study at his home church, Holy Cross Lutheran, South Daytona, Florida . Throughout his life Lam knew no stranger. He was always the first one to help out a neighbor or someone in need. This gentle generosity was a testament to his strong Christian faith. His positive mental attitude stubborn German will and his look to the future spirit were reflected in his take it as it comes character. He had been given wonderful gifts. Anytime there was an electronic or "fix it" question it went to Lam who was able to solve it or fix it as if he had done it a million times. His love for building and "can do anything mentality" enabled him to single handedly build two houses. In his retirement years he will best be remembered by us all in his Florida shorts, no shirt, wearing his safari hat with a hammer in his hand. His handiwork did not stop when he retired. "Call Grandpa" became second nature to us all when there was a baffling fix it need or home or car maintenance need. He helped his daughter, Janet, and Mike, his son-in-law, and his grandkids remodel their first home, and built extensive forts and playhouses for the grand kids. When he would arrive in Naperville for visits the first thing he said was "where's the list of things to work on?" Certainly fix-it lessons from the shirtless grandpa, time spent at his pool in Florida , fishing with the kids in the canal and annual trips to the Magic Kingdom will be memories that will live on in our hearts. He shared his love of life with all and we can never forget his pearls of wisdom…"Make sure you forgive", "Be a gracious entertainer", "Take it as it comes", "If you don't want to listen then learn the hard way", "others' opinions are good food for thought". " there are 1000 ways to skin the cat just make sure you skin it." And to the rambunctious ones…"Quit while you're ahead"…all of which will bring a smile to our hearts for years to come.
