He was predeceased by his parents Philip and Mary (nee Halter) Schneider; and his sisters Barbara (Louis) Elder and Sr. Anne Schneider, SMS. Lambert was born in Scott, SK. He was raised on a farm near Revenue, SK and went to elementary school and high school in Revenue. He graduated from the U of S with a B.A., B. Ed. and Diploma in Administration. He spent a life of teaching starting in rural Saskatchewan becoming Principal in the Saskatoon Catholic System in 1963. Lambert was a devoted family man who always assisted his children, siblings, neighbours and friends with many of their construction and renovation projects. The family home was a place where many visitors were welcomed. Lambert was an active member of the Holy Family Parish and Cathedral since 1963, taking part with many parish functions as well as completing numerous construction projects. Some of his woodwork is found in the church. He was an active member with the Knights of Columbus, 3rd & 4th degrees. After a long teaching career, Lambert focused more on wood working projects, stained glass work and devoting his time to his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
