Episode 8 - The Funeral of Patrick Lamb, Part 1

In our second series, we’ll be going in a different stylistic direction, because I never got around to interviewing the subject in the same comprehensive manner that I did the subject of our first series, Gertrud Braun. A lot of that is down to the fact that some people always seem like they are invincible and that no matter what trials they might face, there will always be more time to sit down and have that interview.

The subject of our second series, my father Patrick Lamb, was one of those people. As you’ll hear in the next few episodes, he had cheated death so many times that when he finally succumbed to complications from a heart attack on June 10, 2023, at the age of 72, it was shocking to any number of friends and acquaintances.

Since we never did get to have that formal interview, I have had to settle for the second best option, which is to share the four speeches from his funeral with all of you. While the audio on these recordings might be a little unpolished, as it was pulled from a video shot by my mom’s best friend who was sitting in the audience, I hope you will still listen and enjoy just some of the stories about the almost invincible man that was my father, Patrick Lamb.

We start the series with two remembrances offered by my sister Rachel Lamb and my wife Jennifer Lamb.
