Lambert Intres Jr. age 91 of Wayne on Friday, July 31, 2009 at the Saint Josephs Hospital in Wayne. His passing was quiet and peaceful.
He was born in Schiedan, Netherlands and came to America in 1927 at age nine. The family first settle in Cedar Grove where he lived before moving to, a farming community known as, Wayne sixty-four years ago.
Lambert got a job a Jenkins Brush Company in Cedar Grove and worked his way up to be Plant Manager. He worked a total of forty-five years for Jenkins Brush before retiring in 1990. He loved his work.
He served for four years in the United States Air Corp during World War II in the Philippines and was with a B-17 Squadron known as Headquarters and Headquarters 46th Service Group.
Before going off to war he met, at his church, and fell in love with Edith Romano. While he was in the Philippine theater of the war they wrote letters to each other. In fact Edith wrote a letter every night for four years to Lambert but because of the war many of her letters did not get through. When he returned from the war they married on October 29, 1945 and had sixty four years of “happy marriage” together. His loving wife Edith will tell you that her nicest memory of Lambert is that he married her. Marriage does not get any better than that.
Lambert was gifted with an extraverted personality and by nature he was popular and a good and welcome mixer in his social circle.
He was a member of Calvary Gospel Church located in Wayne and served on the Board of Deacons and was a long time Sunday School Teacher and superintendant of the Sunday School program.
Sadness struck his life journey when in 2003 he received news that his only son Robert Intres had died suddenly of a heart attack at age fifty-two.
Surviving are his loving wife Edith (nee Romano) Intres, one sister Jennie Versteeg and a brother Jean Intres both of Norwich, New York; his daughter in law Miriam Intres of North Carolina; grandchildren including Courtney and Ryan Intres of North Carolina; two great grandchildren Lucas and Cameron Morrison of North Carolina.
