To Ed's Family ,
Please accept my condolences.
Ed was a wonderful man whom I knew through Boston Latin School. I had little contact with him as a student , but was very aware of his reputation as a 'good guy'. I started to become active in BLSA in the 1980's and , along with many others, was truly inspired by Ed's loyalty ( & that of his '39 classmates ). They very quietly set an example of fidelity that continues to benefit the Latin School to this day. For many years BLS functions were official only with Ed's presence.
I used to enjoy telling him, "You know ,Ed , the Marines could really have made something of you ". His standard--and pained-- answer was always the same ,"Well , maybe next time"!
Ed was always a genuine pleasure.....by all measures a good man. Very much part of the Greatest Generation....we don't get many Ed Lamberts

Ed was the one friend at school who was invited to dinner by my betrothed's family, a real indication of the high regard accorded him by my family as well as everyone who knew him. we shall miss him.

To the Lambert Family

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your father. He was a wonderful man, a terrific neighbor and a close friend to our family. My parents always cherished his friendship over the years; particularly when they had the chance to spend more time together in retirement.
Please accept my sympathy.

To the Lambert Family
Coach Lambert gave me the guidance I sorely needed. The rides home after football practice were more educational than my days in class. He was a great role model.

To Mr. Lambert's Family,
I was so saddened to hear of this tragic loss. I think I can speak on behalf of many members of The Boston Latin School, Class of 1965, who remember Coach Lambert as a firm, fair and tough Coach who managed to guide many of us to our first experiences of excellence and confidence, not only in sports, but in all aspects of life. We shall miss him.
