A great life long friend to my parents, to all our family and servant to his community. Oh the days and nights of cooking at each others house, my first duck hunt, the ballgames, field trips, hauling his hay, learning to drive a tractor, studying umpiring and baseball rules for hours. These are my great memories. He was interested in everybody he knew. Never met a stranger. Love you Lambs.

My deepest sympathies and my prayers go out for the Lamb family. Harold gave me a chance to coach a baseball team in Valley View for 3 years in the 80's. Since then I have spent several years myself continuing to coach baseball with my son and onward. Thanks and RIP Harold Lamb.

Justina and family- my heart breaks for you. What a legacy that Yogi left. He was one of Garry’s best friends. Garry would tell many stories of him and Yogi playing baseball and then coaching their sons together . May God give you comfort and peace at this time and the days ahead. Sharron Turman
