John Lambert - A faithful servant of Torch

John Lambert passed away quietly at Whitehall Lodge Residential Home after a long fight against prostate cancer on Sunday morning(26th)

John was involved in helping to run the Norwich Torch Fellowship for many years and latterly served as Secretary and Treasurer. He also used his car to provide transport for those blind and partially sighted people who wished to attend the fellowship from the Norwich area. To keep up to date on developments in Torch work worldwide, he and his wife enjoyed regular visits to Torch House on their Open Days and other occasions.

John worked for Lloyds Bank and in his spare time used his knowledge and experience of finance to help manage several Christian charities in the Norfolk area.

We extend our sympathy to the family and give thanks for his life of faithful service to God's people.

The funeral is at Douro Place Chapel, Norwich, NR2 4BQ at 1300 on Friday 7th November 2008. The retiring offering is in aid of the Torch Trust. If coming by car, please ensure that you avoid the residents only parking bays on adjacent streets.
