Mr. Lamberson graduated from Sharpsville High School in 1965 and served in the Indiana National Guard for six years.

Throughout most of his adult life Mr. Lamberson had the misfortune of suffering from severe depression, and the terrible effects of that disorder. One very special niece, Carolyn Daniels, was especially kind to him and never missed an opportunity to send a cheerful note or card on birthdays and holidays. Her genuine concern also included weekly phone calls to help lift his spirits and were so very much appreciated by him.
Numerous people have shared stories of what a kind and caring person Ralph was and how he would go out of his way to provide simple acts of kindness to aid them in some way. He was blessed with a special affinity for children and animals. Two dachshunds, Oscar and Buddy, were especially near and dear to him in his later years.
