Lionel Lambert

February 25, 1933 - July 10, 2014

Lambert, Lionel July 10, 2014, age 81 years, of Glendale. Beloved husband of Marsha Lambert (nee Rosenberg). Dear father of Ruth Lambert, Amy (John) Braunreuther and Michele Lambert. Fond brother of Earle (Sharon) Lambert and Ivan (Marcia) Lambert. Cherished grandfather of Elizabeth, Margaret, Henry Braunreuther and Charlie Lambert. Further survived by other relatives and friends. Our Dad, Lionel, was a self-taught arborist, woodworker and gardener. He was known for his beautiful, creative gardens on both Spruce Rd. (River Hills) and Braeburn Lane (Glendale) and his well-loved apple trees. He was also known in the neighborhood for depositing homemade bumper crop zucchini bread in mailboxes all along Spruce Rd and prank phone calls, much to the chagrin of his children, Ruth, Amy and Michele. He hosted yearly 4th of July and Labor Day BBQ's that were filled with laughter, good wine, some bad jokes and well grilled chicken and hotdogs. He loved jazz, the Wisconsin marching band, Mel Brooks movies and comedy albums. Dad was a respected and beloved member of his pharmacy community and owned his own pharmacy on the west side for over 20 years. He was a caring and gifted pharmacist and his customers adored him. We thank everyone at Seven Oaks and Horizon Hospice for the care that our Dad received. We are going to miss him so much. Graveside services 11:00 AM Monday, July 14, 2014 at Mound Zion Cemetery, 14510 W. North Ave., Brookfield. Memorial gifts to Congregation Shalom or Hadassah are appreciated.
