Born in St. Laurent November 6, 1918, son of the late Arcade and Catherine Lambert (nee Lavallee). Tom lived his entire life in St. Laurent as a fisherman and a trapper. He was also a guide for 53 years at the Mallard Lodge in the Delta Marsh region. There and in the neighbouring community of St. Ambroise is where he made numerous friends. Tom was also actively involved in baseball both as a player and coach. His greatest pleasures centred around his family and grandchildren, whom he provided with many wonderful memories of love and support. He leaves to mourn his wife of 62 years, Berthe Lambert (nee Chartrand) his sons, Tom Jr. (Sharon), Leo (Bonny) and grandchildren, Faye, Devan, Vanessa and Justin.
