Robert L. Lambert, Sr.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Robert finished the race and went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on March 25th, 2023 at the age of 83.

His greatest joy was spending time with his family, whom he loved unconditionally. He enjoyed playing pool and would regularly challenge people to “come take their thrashing.” He also enjoyed coin collecting, was a motorcycle enthusiast with a passion for vintage Triumphs, BSA and Indian motorcycles. He had a great sense of humor and told the best stories. The thing he loved best, and excelled at, was discussing the bible. He could name chapter and verse with ease.
