John Lewis Lampman
Jan. 2, 1919 - March 6, 2005



John Lewis Lampman, aged 86 years, passed away peacefully of congestive heart 
failure on Sunday, March 6, 2005. He was born on January 2, 1919 in St. Cloud, 
Minnesota. John moved out to California with his parents and two sisters in the 
30's. He married his high school sweetheart and wife of 61 years, Lena, on 
December 20, 1941. Lena preceded John in death on December 30, 2002. He was 
blessed with 6 children, Patricia Nord, Diana Vestal, Steven Lampman, Brian 
Lampman and twins Sheila Davis and Sheri Honegger. John served in the United 
States Army in World War II from 1944 - 1946. He was honorably discharged as a 
Marine Engineer Technical Sergeant Grade 4. He served in the South Pacific as a 
member of the 377th Harbor Craft. He received the World War II Victory Medal, 
Good Conduct Medal and the Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal. 
He was a member of the Plumbers and Steamfitters Union, Local 442, for 62 years 
where he practiced his trade as a plumber for 38 years, retiring in 1981. He 
provided humanitarian services supporting his wife, Lena, in her ministry as a 
volunteer for the Haven of Peace women's shelter. He and Lena moved to Auburn 
in 2002 to be closer to their family and his children, 14 grandchildren and 8 
great-grandchildren. 
John was devoted to his family and always willing to give selflessly of his 
time to help others. He was a gifted storyteller and was able to draw a captive 
audience with his delightful humor. We are comforted by knowing that John 
accepted the Lord in the final years of his life and will spend eternity in 
Heaven with his loving wife, Lena.
