Richard LAMBERT: Newspaper Obituary 
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The (GA) - Sunday, February 8, 2015
Richard Stone Lambert passed away on Wednesday, February 4, 2015 at the age of 79. He was raised in Westfield, New Jersey and graduated from Westfield Senior High School in 1953. After graduation, he entered the U.S. Air Force where he thrived on maintaining and upgrading B-47 radar bombsight computers. Mentored by his World War II pilot brother-in-law, he learned to fly at the Homestead Air Force Base SAC Aero Club, leaving the service with a healthy 310 hours of flight time. In 1958, he entered the University of Florida for a degree in aerospace engineering. The blossoming airline industry of the 1960's led to a 32-year career at Delta Airlines where he flew many aircraft from piston powered DC-6s to the international L-1011 jet. He loved flying the CV440 and B757. Computers were also a real passion for him. After mandatory retirement at age 60, he entered the computer industry as an Apple Computer consultant where he provided IT services to small companies. Throughout his life he pursued his cherished hobby of restoring planes and automobiles. He and three partners restored three WWII Grumman fighters, an FM-2 Wildcat and two F6F-5 Hellcats, one of which hangs in the Navy's Pensacola museum. After retirement he enjoyed undertaking a top to bottom restoration of a 1953 MG at his mountain house in Rabun County. Shortly thereafter a friend recruited him to take on the job of rewiring the entire electrical system of a classic WWII fighter, a Bell P-63A, and he spent several years working on that plane for The Commemorative Air Force in Peachtree City. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Marianne Burke Lambert, their two children, Richard Burke Lambert and Anne Lambert Tracht as well as two grand children, Miles Avery Tracht and Abigail Anne Tracht, all of Atlanta, Georgia. He was a strong influence in the lives of those around him. He was deeply loved and will be sorely missed. Contributions may be made to a charity of your choice or The Commemorative Air Force, 1200 Echo Court, Peachtree City, Georgia, 30269.

I will pass along funeral arrangements when I hear about them. You can send cards to Vic's wife Carol Merritt Carlock at:

I know she feels really sad today and a card from their old friends would help. If you remember Carol Merritt worked at the Southern Credit Union prior to being hired by Southern as a flight attendant.

This is to let you know that DL Capt. Jimmy W. Byerley died on 1/31/2015 of heart failure, brought on by the effects of 2 strokes over the years and a fall in October which resulted in a new half hip.  He really fought hard to get back to normal, but realized that he was not going to be able to ride his bike again and even hit a few golf balls! He was 79 yrs old and retired from DL in 1993. Being a DL Captain was a proud achievement and he kept us entertained with stories of his flights and travels.

Sincerely,
Joyeuse Byerley
