Published in the Daily Herald on 9/18/2005. Lambert, Carlyle Ballif Carlyle Ballif "C.B." Lambert -- our big guy with a big heart, big mind, and big laugh -- died peacefully on 14 September 2005. He was born in Rexburg, Idaho, 29 July 1917, to Asael Carlyle and Florence Ballif Lambert. His family moved to Provo in 1926, where he received his early education. His family relocated to California, where he graduated from Palo Alto High. He earned his B.S. from BYU in 1938, and his M.S. in 1940, winning the Sigma Psi Award for best scientific study. He was accepted for doctoral studies at The University of Chicago, but gave up this dream because WWII was raging and he had a young family to support. C.B. married Carol Bement on 7 June 1940, in the Salt Lake Temple, and they just celebrated 65 years together. Carol survives C.B., along with six children, 20 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren. Children: John Carlyle (Heather Paterson) Lambert, Monroe Township, N.J.; Carolann (Robert) Eastmond, Las Vegas, NV; Melodee Lambert, SLC, UT; Brian Ballif (Becky) Lambert, Mapleton, UT; Janine (Eric) Nelson, Stockton, CA; and Lisa Lambert, Provo, UT. Grandchildren: Cheryl Lambert; Daryl (Denise) Lambert; Rob (Ellen) Paterson; Ron (Sherry) Paterson; Robert (Amy) Eastmond; Brett (Nicole) Eastmond; Gregory (Angela) Eastmond; Crisandra Eastmond; Benjamin (Kelli) Eastmond; Randall Eastmond; Craig (Brynn) Lambert; Bradley (Holly) Lambert; Marc Lambert; Karalee Lambert (Erick) Arnell; Annaleisa Lambert (Brett) Andrus; Marianne Nelson (Aaron) Gary; Ryan, Jeff, and Scott Nelson; Meikel Lambert (Luke) Reece. C.B. believed his greatest accomplishment was courting and marrying Carol. Their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren filled his life, especially in these last years, with pride, love, and family activity. Equally important were his commitment to education and service to family, friends, neighbors, and young people; and his example of integrity, fidelity, and responsible citizenship in a democracy. C.B. worked for the U.S. and Utah State Departments of Agriculture, and for Remington Arms in Salt Lake City during WWII. He then spent 32 years with Geneva Steel s Blast Furnace Division, at increasing levels of responsibility, retiring as Production Superintendent in 1979. Dad was an avid hunter and fisherman, and an enthusiastic fan of competitive sports, especially of BYU football. He loved the Cougars and shared lowlights from early years, described his jubilation when they first beat Utah, and reveled in their glory years with LaVell Edwards. Friends may call at Berg Mortuary (185 East Center Street, Provo) on Monday, 19 September, from 6-8 p.m. We will celebrate C.B. s life at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, 20 September, at Berg; friends may call from 2-3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Carlyle Ballif Lambert Library Acquisition Fund at UVSC (send c/o Nancy Smith, UVSC, 800 W.
