Dear Polly, Pam and Deron,
 
I was sadden to hear about the passing of my good friend. I could tell countless stories about the things he did and the times we shared from the time I was a little boy up until adulthood. He referred to me as his godson and nicked named me "Tone". I never knew why he called me that, but I accepted it with pride. I spent so much time with him, I could write a book, but tinkering with cars along side him bought joy and a smile to my face. I will miss my friend.
 
 One of my fondest memories of him, was when he ran with the Joy Riders Motorcycle Group. He had metal inserts in his shoes and use to ride his Harley up and down Highway 70 at night, dragging his feett on the highway, creating fantastic sparkles, causing cars behind him to follow him, but that was the Lamb, he always had lots of followers and I wish on this day, he rest in peace. Farewell my friend. 
 
Rest in peace my friend.
 
Halbert "Tone"  Sanders
Polly, Pam and Deron,
 
You have my heartfelt sympathies in your lost. I first met the legendary Lamb when I relocated to NC in 1988. My first encounter with him was through my cousin, the late  Robert Anderson.

We went fishing one day, Rob, Lamb and myself,  and as with every day I have ever thrown a hook in the water, I didn't get a single bite, nor did they. Lamb slept on the river bed while Robert was trying to convince me there's fish in these waters. After about 4 (four) fruitless hours of mosquito bites and assortments of dangerous looking insects, we headed home.
Lamb unloaded his cooler and miraculous produce about 20 good sized fish and I could not fathom where and when he had caught them. I asked him where they came from and without breaking a smile, he said" They Lie Son, Fishermen Lie, but you lawyers already know this.


That was the life and times of the Lamb.
 
Loo Oates
Mr. Lambert was a major influence in my life as a young man attending Johnston County Training School. As I sought my place in life, and realized one day I would need to reach back to assist another young mind, by leading by example, positive influence and not as a follower with no positive purpose or goals in life.
 
 Mr. Lambert was a good friend, a father figure and my mentor. He inspired me with these words of wisdom, "I am the Lamb, the one and only, before me there were none, after me their shall be no more." These words continue to challenge me, to believe in myself and to refuse to allow obstacles to be road blocks to achievement of goals in life.
 
The Edward M. Nixon, Sr. family extends sincere sorrow and prayers to the Lambert family... We could not be with at this time of bereavement do to prior obligation, however, God is with you every step of the way.
 
Bless You All,
Edward M. Nixon, Sr.

Tribute to Mr. Lamberth

Mr. Lamberth and his wife Polly were big supporters of mine when I did missionary work in Jamaica some time ago.  Mr. Lamberth could not figure out why anyone (in their right mind) would want to leave their job, home and sell everything to work in Jamaica and live off $60 a month!  Polly said, he would frequently ponder that!  Well, once when I was home from Jamaica for a visit, Mr. Lamberth stopped by my Mom’s house on his motorcycle to see me; wondering what he could go for me.  I said, what I would really like is a ride on your motorcycle sometimes.  He said, Polly will get on the back in a minute!  Then, he said, “oh yeah,” let me go get you a helmet and I’ll be right back!  He came back, picked me up and we rode from Barbour Road to the edge of Clayton.  When we returned he said, “girl, is that as far as you want to go?”  Now I can take you farther if you want!!  I told him no, that I was thankful for the short ride.  We laughed and had a good time!

I will never forget that day of how he stopped by to check on me and gave me a whole lot of joy that day!  I will miss mostly his big smile and seeing him with his hat turned (well, kind of crazy), on his head!  I will miss you!

Love,
Lorrinda"

From:  T-Meat Raynor:
One time we were going fishing. Lamberth was driving the truck which was pulling the boat. He drove across a railroad track before he realized it, causing the boat and truck to jump up. Someone asked Lamberth was he asleep. He stated "If he was sleep, he aint sleep no more".

When someone was about to catch a fish before pulling it out the water, Lamberth would say "That's old jaw-jaw", before he even saw the fish. He would use the term "Old jaw-jaw" (when he thought it was a big fish).


You were in His Prayers

The final prayer of Jesus was for you. His final pain was for you. His final passion  was for you.

Before He went to the cross, Jesus went to the garden, and when He spoke with His Father, you were in His prayers,

God couldn't turn His back on you. He couldn't because He saw you, and one look at you was all it took to convince Him. Right there in the middle of a world which isn't fair. He saw you cast into a river of life you didn't request. He saw you with a body, which was sick and a heart which grew  weak.

To The Lambert Family,

We find it hard to say goodbye to someone we love so much. Yet we know that he has gone to a better place. The President, Officers and members  of  the Johnston Central Alumni Association,N.C. Chapter, we stand in prayer with your family in the loss of your loved one, Ernest G. Lambert. Death for Mr. Lambert is a door that has led him down the corridor of everlasting life, and he will indeed be missed. We so pledge our support in whatever way we can.

Faithfully Submitted,
                                                                        
Zadock McCoy, President

We remember Mr. Lambert, as a man of wisdom, integrity, and a great sense of humor.  He would help you in any way that he could, regardless of color, creed or ethnicity.
 
As an educator, he was very serious about equipping his students. He help them to reach their maximize potential, so they would become all that God had purposed for them to be in the world.
 
As a versatile man, very skilled in auto body repair and auto mechanics.  Loved to organize musical groups.  During his teaching years at the JCTS, he had a musical group; "The Rhythm Kids".  They were regular guest on the JIM THORNTON SHOW that was televised in the Carolina's.
 
We will forever cling to those treasures that's left for us in our heart.  
 
Because of Jesus
Irving & Christine Allen, pastors

Deacon Lamberth, thank you for always being so kind to me and for your words of encouragement.  I really enjoyed sending cards to brighten your days.  You would always tell me how you enjoyed receiving them and to know that I thought that much of you to take the time to send them.  I will miss you!!!
 
Love Beverly Field

I  extend you  and  the  family  my  deepest  sympathy.   I  regret that  I  am not  able  to  be  with you  during  this  time of  sorrow.   I  will  always  cherish  the evening  that  I  spent  with Mr. Lamberth  and you in  your  home a  few years ago.  I  was  introduced  to him  after many  people from  Smithfield, NC  told me that  we could  go  for  twins.  I wish  we could  have  spent more time  together to see  if  we  were related.  
 
May  God  continue  to  bless  you  and  the  family, 
 
Sincerely,

Ernest Gattis Lamberth, What can  I say about him?   I have known Ernest Lamberth for over fifty years.  I have spent many hours in his home and he spent many hours in my home.  He was a close and dear friend to my family.  I remember him being in the Rhythm Kids Band that used to be televised on TV each week.  I remember him having a 1958 Buick Roadmaster and  a 1956 Cadillac.( Those were elegant cars in their day. I can remember seeing him in coveralls or looking dapper in his Suits.  He was comfortable in both. He even wore a cap backwards and looked natural in it.  He was an elegant gentleman.  I remember him owning a service station on US Highway 301  (between Smithfield and Selma).  I remember him owning auto body repair shops in and around Smithfield.  I remember seeing him and the dog riding in the red and white Chevrolet Truck.  I remember seeing him driving the white tow truck with the amber lights flashing while pulling someone's car or truck that had broken down.  He repaired and painted many cars and trucks over the years. I remember him being a Social Studies Teacher at Johnston Central High School and at Smithfield-Selma Senior High School.  I remember him driving that big motorcycle.  I remember him driving one of my daughters  in his convertible in the Homecoming Parade  at Clayton High School  one year and allowing my other daughter to use the same car with his brother-in-law driving two years later in  the Homecoming Parade. Ernest Lamberth loved life and lived it to the fullest.  Ernest Lamberth loved people and made an impact on so many people.  Ernest Lamberth bore the high and low points of life with courage and dignity.  This world, this state, this county and this city are better places for Ernest Lamberth having  been  among us and being our friend.  Ernest Lamberth has lived a full and rich life.  We saw how he was comfortable among the rich and powerful as well as among the common everyday people.  Ernest Lamberth well done thy good and faithful servant.  Enter now into the joys of life.
We will continue to cherish fond memories of Ernest Lamberth  and remember his family in our thoughts and prayers.
We thank God for allowing us to know and love Ernest Lamberth.
Nathaniel L. Sanders, Jr. and Family

Mr Lamberth held a place in all of our hearts (class of '68) and he will be greatly missed.  A torch light of knowledge has been extinguished.  Our prayers will be with family and friends.

To the Family of Mr. Ernest E. Lambert,

We were extremely saddened when we learned of the
passing of Mr. Lambert.  I met Mr. Lambert more than
49 years ago, first as a teacher; and that relationship developed into a friendship.  He always had a "can do" spirit about himself and he was always willing to lend a hand in any way and in all situations.  Mr. Lambert set a fine example for myself and many others to follow.  He will be missed.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Frank Nixon and Family
Baton Rouge, LA

We join you in mourning the loss of "Mr. Lambert".  He
was first my teacher, then our neighbor and always our
dear friend.  Without hesitation, he always gave and
made this world better for so many.  Mr. Lamb, as you
said, you were like no other and we thank you.

Our family will dearly miss you and your wonderful
spirit.  May God grant the family comfort during this
difficult time.

We will never forget the way Mr. Lamberth cheerfully lent his convertible to us both when we were members of the Clayton High School Homecoming Court.  Romans 12:13
says, " Share with God's people who are in need.  Practice hospitality."  We will never forget his example.

Natalie and Crystal Sanders

To The Lambert Family,
 
Our families have been friends for years.  The Pine Acres connection is what I used to call your mother and your father.  One would show up at my mom's, then the other later.  Mr. Lambert taught me, I believe in 9th grade.  I have always admired and looked up to him as a man, husband and father. 
 
I am sure that he will be turly missed.
 
Francis L. Hinton
Bowie, Maryland

What a versatile man he was, such a talented man, A Robin Hood of his era. A man who had compassion for the man lying in the ditch and he would give a lending hand, the man who would buy groceries for some needy families who lived on the very site where his funeral services are being held today.  He was my teacher at dear ole Johnston Central High School, where I was a member of the Class of 1968 and he would verbally chsatise us when we were late for class by saying, " The bell rings for the school, but the LAMB rings for you."  Go On now My Deacon, my past teacher and friend of my family for a long time, take your heavenly ride on your motorcyle in the sky.  
 
Love and Highest Respect,

My favorite Lamb story was when we went fishing at Snead’s Ferry.  When we got to the bar (that’s where the sound and the ocean meet) the water was extremely rough.  We saw a large bunch of boats on the other side of the bar, so we thought the fish must be really biting.  So off we went across the rough water and we made it across safely.  The first boat we got close to said you guys must be crazy.  We are all waiting for the water to calm down so we can get back in, and you guys are coming out here.  So it goes to show you, that the Lord looks out for his people.  I love you and you know I will continue to be with you now and in the days to come.

God allows people paths to cross for a reason. Some for a season, some till He calls us home.
 
When I became acquainted with you and Mr. Ernest, I knew our meeting was not just for a season. You both have been a blessing to my life.
 
Mr. Ernest, known to me as “Poppie,” was my inspiration. No matter what came my way, thinking of Poppie’s strength and courage would help me make it through.
 
For “Poppie”
 
Your life was a Blessing - for me and all who knew you.
 
Your life was a Miracle – you faced so many obstacles but by God’s grace and mercy you defeated the odds.
 
Your life was a bright and shining Star – the twinkles in your eyes were contagious, you could brighten anyone’s day.
 
Your life was a Lesson – you taught and lived by example, you helped a many find their way
 
Your life was Laughter, you made us laugh until tears started flowing, allowing us to forget about all that was not right with the world
 
Your life was Love – you gave from the heart and expected nothing in return. The love you had for your family and people exemplified that of a strong Christian man
 
Poppie, you were a soldier, you fought many battles.
 
On Monday, May 14, 2007, God saw fit to say,
 
“No more battles my servant, you have won, the VICTORY is yours, come home!”
 
I love you and will cherish all the special memories of you in my heart.
 
With all my love,
 
Brenda “Brennie Poo” Bonner

My Memories with Mr. Lamberth
 
Mr Lamberth taught me in high school and I always thought he was the best looking teacher I ever had and one of the most interesting.
 
After many years, he became a very close family friend.  He and my husband, Rob, were inseparable fishing buddies and it is in these later years that I got to know Mr. Lamberth as a true personal friends.  He let me borrow his cars when mine broke down.  He even came to see about me when I let the car I borrowed from him run out of gas and he never complained about the inconvenience.
 
Rob and I shared one of our last vacations with Mr. Lamberth and Polly when we spent a week in  New Orleans together.  Later, I was able to them into taking a cruise with me and Mr. Lamberth loved it even though he pretended not to.
 
I just remember him as a generous kind-hearted person who took really good care of me.  My life will not be the same without my friend whom I respected so much that I could never call him by his first name.  I will always remember him as MR. LAMBERTH.
 
Doris Jones Anderson

Ernest Lamberth, Teacher and Friend

 
When I think of him three words come to mind: hospitable, generous and loving.
He will be remembered for his giving spirit. He gave of his time, resources, knowledge and talents.
He loved laughter; His very presence created an atmosphere of joy, wit, and laughter. He had the gift to encourage you no matter what emotional or mental state you were in.
 
His love for life and the many hobbies he enjoyed speak of his adventurous nature and lifestyle.
In my many visits to the Lamberth household he was always the same, hospitable and entertaining.
My friendship with Mr. Lamberth will always be cherished and remembered.
 
Jewette Williams, Student and Friend
 
Greetings to the Lamberth Family
 
From Judge Addie Rawls:  “Precious memories, how they linger.”  The Lamberth home was fondly referred to as my campaign headquarters and we would meet there weekly. One evening, Mr. Lamberth was in his living room listening or eavesdropping as the case may be and he decided to candidly share his campaign advice. He told us, “You had better stop meeting and start greeting.”
 
Another day, I went to see “Poppy” and said, “How are you doing?”  He asked me if I wanted the truth or a lie.  It’s a shame when a preacher and a judge would opt for the latter. We know that Ma Polly had him programmed to know the power of his confession of healing. 
 
Mr. Lamberth will truly be missed as a friend, advisor, confidant and “Poppy.”
The Reverend & Honorable Addie M. Harris Rawls

From Tami Andrews: 
One day, I was in the store with my eight (8) year old son, Ramsey Lewis, and we saw Mr. Lamberth wearing his “cut up” hat.  While speaking to him, my son said, “We need to give him $5.00 so that he can buy a hat.” After sharing with my son that Mr. Lamberth had passed, and that he was the man that my son said needed $5.00, my son replied, “I told you Mamma that we should have given him $5.00.”

Hi Mrs. Polly,
 
I would like for you to have a copy of this.  Although Deacon Lamberth was not feeling well on the day that Jamie interviewed him, he graciously agreed to share with him.  They discovered they had some of the same interest, like riding motorcycles and playing the trumpet. They exchanged cell phone numbers that day. Every so often, he would call Jamie to see how he was doing and  how his week had gone in school.   We appreciated the interest he showed in Jamie.  He was such a special man and we will miss him.  We love you and are praying for you.

Deacon Emeritus Ernest Gattis Lamberth
By Jamerson Pearson
Presented February 18, 2007

Deacon Lamberth was born in Apex, NC , in Wake County, on October 16, 1929 to the late Leo and Gladies Lamberth.

He has been married to Polly A. Lamberth for 18 years.  He has one daughter, Pamela Gattis Lamberth and 10 grandchildren.

He grew up during segregation, where Black and White people were separated.  The children went to separate schools.  The people saw the same doctor, but they had separate waiting rooms or offices.  Black people had to ride in the back of the bus and in the front of the train.  They had to ride in the front of the train because it was dirty and smoky there due to the burning coal. 

In his early years he lived in New York.  He went to  grade school in Johnston County and graduated from Cooper High School in Clayton.  Deacon Lamberth said he had to fight almost daily when he got on the bus, due to the color of his skin.  He said it was not the White people that he had to fight, but the Black students, because he was light skinned and they did not want him on their bus. While in school, he played trumpet in the band and on the basketball team.

He said that a mule encouraged him to go to college.  The Summer after he graduated from High School his daddy bought two mules for him to work the fields with. One day while plowing, he said the mule spoke to him and said he was going to be his master and pull him around forever. He decided to prove the mule wrong and enrolled in college a few weeks later.

He went to Saint Augustine’s College, before he was drafted into the U.S. Army, during the Korean War.  He served 2 years in the Army where he was a paratrooper and  he was the first Black in the 76 Tank Battalion.  He returned to St. Augustine’s College and graduated, after serving in the Army.

Deacon Lamberth began teaching in the Johnston County School System in 1954 and he taught for 31 years.  He taught History, Sociology, and Economics. He states he was the first Black teacher to teach an all White female class. He worked on cars on the side, while teaching.  He retired in 1985. After he retired from teaching, he owned an auto body shop in Smithfield.

Deacon Lamberth’s community activities include serving as a Deacon at First Missionary Baptist Church, he is a charter member of the Progressive Men’s Club in Smithfield, and he operated a clothing closet for children.

He was the first Black or White person in the area to own a Harley Davidson Motorcycle.  He is a member of a motorcycle club of 49 members called the "Joy Riders".

Deacon Lamberth’s favorite foods are corn, potato salad, chicken salad, pig feet, steak, fish, and oysters.

His hobbies include motorcycle riding, fixing cars, gardening, fishing, boating, and horseback riding.

He said that he built his first home and paid for it. That is something that a lot of people can not say today.

His best friends were, my granddaddy, Jimmy Pearson and Mr. Robert Atkinson.

Deacon Lamberth’s advise to children is continue your education, do your best,  respect your parents and other adults, and listen more than you talk.  He also said to evade any situation that causes trouble. "It is better to walk away than to have a bad stay!"

Thank You!

Polly's note: ****This young man selected Ernest as the adult he wanted to know better in February, during our 07 Black History celebration at our church.  Jamie interviewed Ernest and wrote this up and presented it to the church.


Polly,

We will dearly miss our Beloved Deacon Lamberth, we looked forward to him worshiping with us every Sunday in his favorite spot. He was such an encouragement.  We know that the Bible states, that to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord, so even though our hearts are heavy we know that he is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord.

 
May God be with you and your family during this time of bereavement.
 
Pastor Lacy E. Simpson Jr, and the Disciples of First Missionary Baptist Church

He knew who he was and made sure you knew it too.  He often used his experience as a History Teacher to inject wisdom and laughter.  I fondly remember the lesson he gave “Sugar Pudding aka Polly” and myself on the origin of “Hallelujah”. He loved making his grand mashed potatoes which he referred to as “smashies”.  Mr. Lamberth shared his faith daily by exhibiting love toward others.  He understood that every life that he touched would forever bare his print and he went about doing good works.
 
Gloria J. Chance

To Mrs. Polly,  Pam, and all the family and friends of Deacon Ernest Lambert;
 
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Deacon Lambert, yet we rejoice in knowing that he is resting in eternity with the Lord.   God blessed many lives through his journey and provided many fond memories for you cherish.  Our prayer for you all is that the Lord will strengthen and comfort you during this time of sorrow, and transition.
 
And while the days ahead may seem difficult to face, please rest in the assurance of  Jesus' words as He said “Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted,”  and the words of the Apostle Paul as he said; “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
 
Please know that we will not hesitate to keep you in our prayers and assist you in any way we can.
 
With loving sympathy,
PASTOR AND MRS. STANLEY BYRD AND
 
THE THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH FAMILY   
& nbsp

Polly and family, am sorry to hear of your loss.  God needed another angel to carry out his work and knew Ernest would do a good job.  I'll keep you all in my prayers and thoughts.
 
 
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
I am now at peace forever,
He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus's arm to lean on I'm
Safely home in Heaven at last.
 
A friend.

Pam, Frankie and Deron,
 
I am so deeply saddened to hear of the death of my beloved uncle Ernest, my sweet Prince. My earliest recollections of uncle Ernest are from Smithfield when I was just 5 years and learning how to ride my bicycle.
 
Did you know that he actually taught me how to ride a bike. It was love at first sight for uncle Ernest and me. He had the cutest little dog named Tony. The two of them were inseparable. He actually taught Tony how to dance.
 
I have so many memories of him that I will always cherish. His very presence would mean that the good times had arrived. He was always upbeat, always so full of life. I know that he did not go quietly into the night, that would have been uncharacteristic of him. Instead, he knocked down the door and danced in.
 
I hope that you will send me a picture of the face I loved so much. Even though I moved to another state and there were miles between us, uncle Ernest was always near  my heart.
 
I will miss him.
