George LAMBERT Obituary

We first met George back in 1996 when my husband Matthew started working at Defiance Flour Mill, where George was a builder/maintenance person. We used to have long chats about Edinburgh, as we both came from there. Such a lovely friendly man. George, I hope you are having a wee dram up there, love to Margaret and all the family xx

Our sincere condolences on your loss to Colin, Margaret and family. George and Rita were very popular tutors who came to the Coast on many occasions to take day schools and George continued to visit with his overseas students and took club night dancing when it coincided with these visits. He is remembered with much fondness for his wit and easy going charm.

I was so sorry to hear of Geordie´s ( George's) passing. We were in the same Scottish country dance class at Summer School for a number of years and he was always so cheerful and full of fun with stories to tell. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Joyce McLachlan.

Sincere condolences to all of George's family and friends on his passing. George was a lovely quiet, unassuming man whom we liked from the first time we met. He'll always be remembered by us with fondness and affection. From,
Shelley, Jon & Devon

My deepest sympathy Margaret & Colin on dads passing. I remember Dad & your mum , at RSCDS nz summer schools

George,you will now be skipping through the Heather doing a jig through the glens. On Saturday night everyone will be dancing in the standard you taught us and with a loving memory in our hearts.
You will be missed "wee Geordie " but never forgotten.
My condolences to Colin and Jenny, Margaret and Rhys, Michelle, Jeremy and Georgia.

The amazing and talented George, Scottish Country Dancing will never be the same. He was dedicated to the dance and was such a good teacher, always encouraging and smiley. Dance your way to heaven, George. RIP

I will miss my Geordie friend very much - I loved hearing stories of his life in Scotland, the way he recited the names of all his brothers and sisters (in order of birth), playing music and dancing with him, his lovely singing voice, our woodwork lessons, that photo of you playing the cat (and not the bagpipes), hearing about all those international students you looked after ... and so much more. Thanks for so many lunches, cuppas, outings, gigs and just spending time together George.

Blessings and arohanui George. Thanks for your great contribution to dancing in Canterbury. I will miss your quirky sense of humour. RIP.

a great long standing friend and for over 65 years, the great times we shared will be missed

rest in peace,
