Samuel Lambert Obituary
Born in Torrington, CT, he was the son of Samuel Lambert Sr. and Charlotte Squires and was the husband of Hazel Meisner for over 61 years. Sam lived in the Capital region of New York State where he raised his family and developed an excellent reputation in the blacktop community as proprietor of Quality Pavers, serving this area for over 70 years. He will forever be remembered as a hard working yet compassionate man, equal parts paver and partyer, who could outlast anyone on the dance floor. You could find him at his happiest sitting in a pickup truck with a cup of Stewarts coffee and a USA Gold Light 100.
Survivors, in addition to his wife, include his beloved eight children; Lisa Vasto (Paul), Rhoda Seaburg (Richard), Peggisue Sherman (James), Samuel and Judy Lambert III, Harry and Shari Lambert, Preston and Margarite Lambert, Amanda Leonardo (Kris), and Samuel and Mindy Lambert IV. He was the proud Pop of 19 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren, with two more arriving soon. Sam, one of ten siblings, is survived also by sisters Phoebe Ambrose and Jean Chichester, and baby brother Leonard Lambert.
Relatives and friends may call at the Meyer's Funeral Home, 741 Delaware Avenue, Delmar, NY. 12054, on Thursday, April 20, from 10:00-1:00 p.m., with funeral following immediately after. Burial will take place at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery, State Rt. 396, Selkirk, NY. Afterwards, all are invited to gather and celebrate Sam.

Coming up on years since I Said I love you and you said it back. Two years since you winked at me and I got to hold your hand. This is going to be the longest heartache Dad. Love you so much, miss you everyday!
" When the road I walk seems all uphill
And the colors in my rainbow turn blue
You kiss the tears away
You smile at me and say
"Funny face (Funny face), I love you"
