Thank you Uncle Leo and Aunt Lettie for making me feel welcome. I always looked forward to sharing time with you whenever you visited Northern VA (The famous Lamoyne Lounge) from VA Beach. No matter what was planned that day or what the celebration was for, I never had to worry about nourishment. Your loving care and kindness never wavered. I always felt like I was a part of the family. Even when Ron and I visited you this past April, despite the circumstances you encouraged us to eat and made sure we were full. Thank you Uncle Leo for looking after us as if we were your own children. May God offer you refuge, comfort and peace in Heaven. 

Love, the Unciano Family (Julian, Shey, Aubrey, Jayden, Dylan and Aunt Lei) and the Barraga Family (Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Tony). 

Island Creek memories at the famous Lamoyne Lounge. Very close friends, family and their loving parents (The Lambinicio's, The Unciano's, The Padua's and The Barraga's). 

My sincere condolences for the loss of such a wonderful man. I’m grateful to have known his smile, to have enjoyed his feasts, and to have shared time with him over the years. I’ll always remember him teasing me with an oven mitt shaped like a fish after SATs, his emotions while seeing both his children get married, our conversations about hearing aids, his joy at his 75th surprise birthday party, and the way he made everyone feel so welcomed.  He was a man who loved life, so I look forward to celebrating the life he lived.   Peace be with him and all who loved him. 

I’ll always treasure the summer I spent with Grandpa Leo in 2022, when he and Grandma Lettie generously housed me while I worked in Portsmouth. He rarely spoke, but he found ways to communicate about the things that mattered to him: his food, his cars, and of course, his family. He was truly most at peace when Grandma was near. One particular moment I’ll always remember is the time I made Grandpa laugh out loud. I’d found this tiny chick in a bowl of Easter candy and proceeded to play with it, mindlessly entertaining myself. But Grandpa Leo was watching, and he must have thought it was SO funny because he was in stitches! He has a great sense of humor. I know Grandpa Leo has a lot to smile about and laugh at up in heaven. Rest in peace.

Cyndi,

We have such fond memories of your Dad  cooking some of his favorite dishes when you were entertaining for a special event. He
seemed to really enjoy contributing. He will be missed. 

Love,
Charleen and J Arthur White

I spent a lot of time at the Lambinicio household during my junior high and high school days. It was like my second home so, in a way, Uncle and Auntie were like second parents. My teenage years were very difficult but the Lambinicios made it better.
Thank you Uncle Leo for the rides, the delicious food and being father to my best friend, Glen. 

It has been an honor and privilege to have known Uncle Leo since I was a teenager.  Cyndi was always known to have the "cool" parents in school.  We could always stop by the house after school and be welcomed with gourmet style food that Uncle Leo prepared in abundance!  He was a fantastic father, husband, friend, sailor, chef, role model and so much more.  Rest in peace.

Cyndi,   Sorry to hear about the passing of your father.  I will cherish the great memories of him from our school days.  
Joe P. 

Condolences and prayers to the Lambinicio  family.   I have fond memories of Uncle Leo.   He was friendly, funny,  and easy to get along with.  I loved watching him cook and tried to take some notes.   Rest easy Uncle Leo.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.  May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

Love,
Lagman Family (Fred, Malou and Federico)
