Carl Lambert

I first met Carl when I was a 17 year old Junior at PUYALLUP High School. He was the voice of the Vikings. In the fall of 1991 and the fall of 1992, Carl was at the forefront of two storybook football seasons for the Vikings. Ever since those years, I admired Carl for the spirit and dedication he brought to the game of high school football. Our paths crossed many times in the past 20 years while I was coaching football and teaching. In fact, Carl was a dedicated substitute teacher as...

Carl absolutely loved being part of the sports community in East Pierce County as a high school football radio announcer! During my tenure as the Puyallup Herald Sports Editor from 2007 through 2014, I shared the press box at Sparks Stadium with Carl and Ron Crowe on many Friday nights. Carl was the epitome of a hometown hero. He will be missed immensely.

Mr.Lambert was my teacher in high school. I really enjoyed his class. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
