Walter Lamb Obituary
After his service in the Marine Corps, Walt was employed by Soneco until his retirement. He was a charter member of the Ledyard Sportsman's Club. He remained active in shooting sports until his death. He was a longtime member of the Ledyard Congregational Church.
Walter was a fiercely independent man. Anytime he could make something instead of buying it, he did. He spoke his mind in no uncertain terms. He gave more charity than he took. He enjoyed visiting with family and friends. He enjoyed watching the many birds and wildlife that frequented his yard.
Born in New London, he was the son of the late Edmund and Huldah (Desley) Lamb.
He is survived by numerous nephews and nieces; and two sisters-in-law, Gladys Schmidt of Florida and Fran Sykes of North Carolina.
He was predeceased by his son, Richard Lamb; a brother, James Lamb; and a sister, Grace Elliot.
A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, at Lambtown Cemetery, 103 Lambtown Road, Ledyard. There will be no calling hours.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Ledyard Congregational Church or the National Rifle Association.
The Mystic Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Another candle light has gone out .
Back in the early 60"s , we were friends and neighbors of the Lambs .
Weekends we went to back fields to shoot skeet and trap , winter and summer. rain
or snow , hot or cold .
Week nights Walt and Chuck would do all the reloading for the next weekend and then followed with dessert . Lots of fun and friendship .
Just my son Chuck and I are left with wonderful memories of Walt, Snooks , Richard and hubby Chuck Sr.
A sweet reunion for Walt with all those that went before him .
