Barnum Bailey

Lambert

Resident of Morgan Hill

Dec. 7, 1933 - Oct. 7, 2010

Barnum Bailey Lambert's life ended on Thursday, October 7, after battling surgeries and hospitalizations. Born in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Barney served 20 years in the United States Air Force. A man of many talents, he pursued several different careers after his military retirement. He was particularly active in oceanic pursuits, starting his own company and developing several patents for under-water/surface rebreathers and other diving equipment.

Barney is survived by his wife Lynn Got, sons Mark (Kristen), Christopher (Alice) and Anthony Lambert, daughter, Lisa (Howard) Smith, grand-children, Heather and Bryan Smith, Caitlin and Carly Lambert, Alina Lambert, step-daughter Melissa, (Anthony) and grandson Kobe Lopez, and brother Edward Lambert.

Barnum Bailey was a kind and caring man who loved his family deeply. A memorial gathering of family and friends will be held.
