Sam Lamb (Tillsonburg Old Sox)  February 24,2022

It is with great sadness, the family wish to announce the passing of Samuel Ivan Lamb on February 24th, 2022 at Woodstock hospital.

Sam was born in Springfield on January 20th, 1927. He was the youngest son of Frank and Eva Lamb.
Sam was family oriented, community minded and spiritually guided man.

In his 95 years, he dedicated his time to the Town of Tillsonburg (Town Council), to the sport of baseball (Sam Lamb Baseball Field), St. Paul’s United Church (AOTS member), a member of IOOF Lodge, RC Legion member and many more organizations. Most of all was his unwavering love and devotion to his family.

Everyone that knew Sam, was lucky enough to experience his kindness, caring and fun personality. He may best be known for his competitiveness. A trait that has been passed down to his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

He will be greatly missed by his wife, Mary Anne Van Geertruyde, of 38 years.

Sam was predeceased by his first wife, Dorothy, in 1982.

He was the proud father to Terry (Pat) Lamb, Dan (d.2012) Lamb, Debbie (d.2008)(Max d.2003) Partlo, and Kelly (Dale d.2022) Springer and Mary Anne’s children, Chantal Van Geertruyde and Chris (Chaundra) Van Geertruyde.
