Lambert A. Rose, 99 of Wayne, passed away on Fri., Aug. 18, 2017. A Wayne resident since 1948, Mr. Rose was Sr. Executive V.P. of National Community Bank in Maywood before retiring in 1993.
Lambert was a very bright student in high school and began working at the Rutherford National Bank as a young man. He was drafted into the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1944 and proudly served until the war’s end in 1946. Upon returning home, he went right back to work for Rutherford National. His career there survived a few acquisitions and eventually spanned more than fifty years. He rose to become the Sr. Executive Vice President of National Community Bank, based in Maywood, and even after his retirement he remained on the Board of Directors until 1993, when the bank was purchased by Chase. He had a remarkable career and was a truly gifted man with a purely ‘banking’ mindset.
Lambert came from a very large family, which included nine children, of which he fell right in the middle of the age order. He remained close with all of his siblings throughout the years and he was the last of them to survive. He remained faithful to the idea of having a large family and eventually had seven children of his own. He and his wife, Matilda, who passed in 2002, met at their church in Passaic and were married on June 4, 1941. They honeymooned at Fort Ticonderoga in New York. They first settled in Passaic before moving to Wayne in 1948. They built their home on Parish Drive in Wayne and proceeded to raise their family there, sharing sixty one years of devoted marriage before Tillie passed in 2002. Lambert was a man of faith and he served many years as a Sunday School Teacher and Elder at the Netherlands Reformed Church in Clifton. One of his hobbies was binding books, often using some tools he had bought on Ebay, and many of the Psalter books in his church were repaired and bound by his caring hands. Attending church on Sunday was essential to Lambert, so much so that even when travelling, he and Tillie would plan their trips such that they would be in the vicinity of a Netherlands Reformed Church every Sunday. They had attended services at NRC churches as far as Washington State and Alberta, Canada. In Lambert’s memory, donations would be appreciated to the Netherlands Reformed Christian School, 164 Jacksonville Rd., Pompton Plains, 07444, or to the Holland Christian Home, 151 Graham Ave, N. Haledon, NJ 07508.
Lambert is survived by his seven children; Lois Marples (Ellis) of Stockholm, Marion Van Houten of Wayne, Ed Rose (Doris) of Jenison, Michigan, Doris Den Herder (Dale) of Macungie, Pennsylvania, Jim Rose (Carol) of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, Deb Hults (Bob) of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Nancy Slingland (Edward) of West Milford, twenty one grandchildren, sixty-five great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren, as well as an even larger, extended family. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Matilda “Tillie” in 2002, by his grandson; Richard A. Kersten in 1976, by two sons-in-law; Abe Kersten and Jack Van Houten, as well as his eight siblings; Cora Rose, John Rose, Cora “Sis” Bush, Eunice Miester, Tom Rose, Claude Rose, Wilber Rose, and Margaret VanGrouw.
