Donald Klase Lamb

with heart disease. Many thanks to Craven County Hospice for making the

end of his journey so easy for him and his family.

He served as a pilot in the Air Force during the Korean War and upon

discharge continued flying with Capital Airlines which became United Airlines.

His 37-year career ended when he retired in December of 1990.

Don was a fun-loving man who never met a stranger. He especially enjoyed

spending time with his family, playing tennis and sailing. He loved building

small pieces of furniture. There are many of his heavy wood outdoor tables

and benches at relatives as well as friends’ homes around New Bern. He

worked as assistant to Chuck Dulane making home improvements around

Greenbrier. They were most proud of their masterpiece, the gazebo at the

tennis courts at the Emerald.

He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Janet Lamb, two daughters, Sharon

Alderton (Dave) and Missy Dockendorff (Charlie), step-son Kevin, five

incredible grandchildren, David Dockendorff (Lauren), Ashley Clisam (PJ),

Michael Alderton (Rachel), Christopher Alderton and Cole Ponton and

precious great-grandchildren: Taylor, Ethan, Luke, Austin, Miles and Finley.

It was his wish that there be no service and his hope that everyone would

remember him as he was when he was healthier. The world has lost a true

gentleman.
