Obituary

David Cyril Lamb, 79, most recently of Mount Dora, Florida, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on March 11, 2019, after a short battle with brain cancer. David was born in Ottumwa, Iowa to James and Carmen Lamb.

David traveled extensively around the world several times a year. His favorite places were Australia and Singapore. During his lifetime, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, canoeing, woodworking, flying remote-controlled airplanes, reading, wine enthusiasm, bird watching and vacationing in Aruba for the last 19 years with his wife. It was there that the happy couple made many life-long and lasting friendships. But foremost was the time spent with family and friends. Family was truly David’s everything.
