I worked for Mr. Lambert at Oakwood Cemetery on the grounds crew for several summers while in college. He was the best boss a college kid could ever ask for. He was fun to be around and always made us feel like we were important. I never remember him getting mad and I always looked forward to going to work even though we worked for minimum wage and it was a hot and sweaty job. I´m sorry for your loss.

I remember being at Diane and Joel´s house one night many years ago.Joel looked at Diane and said- do you think we should go to bed so these people can go home?! He was always fun to be around. Sorry I missed the funeral. I remember Diane came to my wife´s funeral. Me and my Daughter have you all in our thoughts and prayers.
