Obituary Overview
Ronald Winston Lambert
December 24, 1944- March 17, 2018
Sadly after a valiant struggle with his illness Ron passed away peacefully March 17 in the MICU at the Health Science Centre leaving behind his wife Terry (Peake) of 50 years. Also leaving two children, Michelle & Dale (Rogowski) and Bryan & Teresa (Derksen), and grandchildren Brooke and Tatum. His sister Madeleine & John (Barney) reside in Arizona. His brother-in-law, Bob Peake as well as Mother-in-law, Marcelle Neumann are here in Winnipeg. Ron also has been survived by several nieces and nephews. Ron was predeceased by his Mother Grace and father Paul. Also predeceased by a young sister, Pauline and his younger brother Alfred.
Ron started his career in diesel mechanics at Kipp Kelly back in the 60’s. He then worked in the same profession for Ingersoll Rand Ltd. Ron became self-employed when he started Fleetwash Ltd. with a partner and then Winnipeg Sandblasting & Liqua Jet were created in 1985.
Over the many years of being in business Ron has developed many friendships, he is known to many, quite often a father figure to some. A figure that stood out in a crowd, so loved by all.
Ron’s passion has always been his hobby of antique cars. He has been an active member of the Fabulous 50’s Ford Club and the MAAC. Also is a member of the Crown Vic Association. Many of his friendships were created from his hobby, often helping others with the same passion. Most weekends would find Ron involved with some type of car activity, even if it was just a cruise in one of his Fords down to The Pony on a Sunday evening.
Our thanks to the wonderful staff at the MICU in the Health Science Centre for the care he received.
In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made to the Lung Association of Manitoba or to a charity of your own choosing.
