Larry was my teacher and more importantly, my friend. He helped me as a teenager immensely through his kindness and a true guiding hand in classes and in life. I am privileged to have known him and to have been able to be one of his assistants in High School for 2 years. Generous, kind and a great sense of humor. The world is a smaller place without him in it.

Mr. Lambert was a special person to me. I was a student in many of his art classes at BDHS. As a young person and student, I think that you are unaware of the subtle things that surround you at the time. It is not until you reach full maturation as an adult that you understand these things. Along with creativity and technique—some of the many overt things I learned in photograhy from him—here are some of those subtle things that I observed in Mr Lambert. Each day he modeled these things: love for people and especially his students, a robust laugh, great industrious energy, a listening ear, and a big heart. He attracted people to himself. I am saddened by the news of his passing, but I rejoice in knowing that he is home in heaven.
