Albert W. Lambert of Naugatuck passed away at home on November 9, 2017.
Mr. Lambert was born on March 11, 1934 in Trenton, NJ, the second child of Albert C. Lambert and Edna (Simpson) Lambert and was educated in Trenton area Parochial schools. After High School, he served 36 months on active duty with the U.S. Army during the Korean War and returned home to attend Rider College (now Rider University) where he met his future bride, Irene Paranay of Somerville, NJ. They were married in 1958 after both had received their B.S. Degrees from Rider. They celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary in August of 2015.
After early entry level positions with H.K. Porter Company, Inc. and Solfo Paint Company, Inc., Mr. Lambert joined Weyerhaeuser Company in 1961 at their Pennsauken, NJ facility. Between 1961 and 1981, he served in a number of increasingly responsible accounting and financial positions at Weyerhaeuser facilities in Chicago, IL, Plymouth, NC and Wausau, WI. These included Region Services Manager for an integrated Pulp and Paper Mill in Wisconsin. In 1982, he left Weyerhaeuser and moved back to Chicago to join U.S. Industries, Inc. as an Assistant Group Controller of the Industrial Group and later as Group Controller of the Diversified Products Group. The Lamberts moved to Brookfield, CT in 1983 when the USI Group Offices were consolidated with U.S. Industries' new corporate office complex in Stamford, CT.
In 1985 after the hostile takeover of U.S. Industries, Inc. by Hanson Industries, Inc. and the dissolution of the former USI organization, Mr. Lambert founded and operated Lambert Associates, Inc., a management accounting consulting firm with clients in the United States and South America. In 1996, he accepted the position of Corporate Controller for DCG Precision Manufacturing Company in Bethel, CT and dissolved his consulting business. In 2000, he joined Stratford Land Development Company in Stratford, CT as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary. Subsequently he relocated his family to Stratford, CT. In 2008, after a business career of 50 years, he retired but continued to be active as a consultant both for his former employer and for various other clients. He has remained active in St. Mark's Episcopal Church of Bridgewater, CT until his death. In 2015, he and his wife moved to their present home in Naugatuck, CT.
