DAVID JEAN JOSEPH LAMBERT

Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

• David was a lifelong friend to myself, my brother, & to our family … heavens, he was almost part of the family! Where Dave was, you knew that there would be laughter. Just seeing him, receiving an email from him, or reading one of his posts on Facebook made you smile! OMG … yes, he was the 'King of pranks' … there were pretty much no boundaries … always in fun though. David had a very kind heart, he was an ever loyal friend, he cared deeply about people and their friendships meant a great deal to him … he demonstrated that so many times. And, oh my goodness, how he could make you laugh! David leaves a void with his passing … but also leaves us with such wonderful memories of joy & laughter! Merci, mon ami! À la prochaine! P.S.: David … Thanks for your great recipe & anecdote contributions to the 'Marie-Jeanne Recipe Book'!! - Posted by: Aline Boxall Brétécher (friend) on: Mar 22, 2021

• Everyone who worked at Pollard Banknote knew Dave, & Dave knew everyone who worked there! He was just that kinda guy! He was never without a joke, a friendly good morning or something exciting he just had to tell you about ( which was usually some practice joke he had played on someone). Everyone loved Dave. He will be missed greatly. - Posted by: Teri Masson (Friend & former co-worker) on: Jan 04, 2021

• Dave was special. Like many others that received the same prank over the years, I would search for the smell in my office, to find an open sardine can duck taped under my desk, after searching for 3 days. Dave made you fell welcomed and his laugh infectious. A true gentleman and one of the funniest men I knew. My condolences to the family.

• I first met David when I was making a sales call at Pollard Banknote in the 80's. I was a sales rep for C&S Equipment and sold janitorial supplies, David was new in his position as was I in mine and we became life long associates and friends. Out of all the customers I have met in my career, David was one of the most genuine, trustworthy, friendly and loyal people I had the privilege to know. The first time I took David out for lunch, as an appreciation for this business, He said to me right after, "Ted, I rather go for a beer next time, I always bring a lunch", David and I had many beverages together after that and as David would say we were sometimes “ overserved”. David's sense of humour was infections and we had many laughs together. I always enjoyed his company. I will sadly miss him and think of our antics often. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou - Posted by: Ted Gross (Friend) on: Jan 02, 2021

• Cousin, Uncle Dave was one of the funniest, witty, loving, compassionate men I knew. I shared my childhood with He,Odile and the boys. Our family camping trips to steep rock,to family get togethers,be sure our David was there having the time of his life. I have 3 beautiful memories with him. Dancing at a family social to The proclaimers " I would walk 5000 miles." He,Odile and I standing together under the bells at St. Boniface cathedral,he was mesmorized by the sound. Odile and I watched and smiled as we watched him. I remember my Mom taking me to visit him at Tomboy's when it was on taché where he worked. I still see him wearing his smock. He used to tell me I looked like a mouse.lol. He was a forgiving man and our family loved him and he will be missed. God bless you Odile and family. Love always.xoxoxoxo - Posted by: Angela Baziuk (Cousin ) on: Jan 02, 2021

• David was my godfather for my first confirmation and was a wonderful example of “family first”. He lived it. Always a jokester, kidder and never afraid to speak his mind. I will cherish the many memories of my youth when Dave made a strong impression on me. Even during his many health challenges Dave always greeted us with joy and honesty. You will be missed my dear cousin. - Posted by: Joey Riel (Cousin) on: Jan 02, 2021

• I had many execellent times spent with my buddy Dave. Camaderie was always number 1 with Dave. Practical jokes were his specialty and all in fun. Sneaking the little airplane bottles onto the boat for a private cocktail. Fibbing on the length of the fish (alot), opening the bail on my fishing rod so I would lose the first fish and he could win the bet, brag about how he could teach me how to become a better fisherman, and then lose $3 to me when he got skunked. Dropping your expensive flashlight down the hole when we were ice fishing (I guess so the fish could see better ) LOL Favorite word for me on the boat when I bragged was Prevaricator, he must of spent days looking in the dictionary for that one to use on me, but he was always polite LOL You are Dearly missed my Friend and I will think of you often, especially when fishing. Rest in Peace my friend - Posted by: Gerald Gagnon (Friend) on: Jan 02, 2021
