Bernard worked at Flanigan Ford, Carnation Milk, the WV Department of Highways and retired from Union Carbide with about twenty-five years of service. He loved his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, that he enjoyed teasing. He enjoyed ice cream, steak, mashed potatoes, NASCAR, Fords, and Dolly. He had a brute strength like no other and could bring any man to their knees with a little game of “mercy” and “hot hands”. While working on cars, he had the gifted ability to diagnose problems with incredible accuracy. Bernard is survived by his wife of sixty-five years, Evelyn “June” Marie Evans Lamb whom he married at Rev Marshall Cumpston’s home on February 1, 1958; five children, Grady Lamb and Michele, Salem, Deby Davis and Eric, Salem, John Lamb and Angie, Salem, Nancy Dye, Bridgeport, Mary Newlon and Randy, Fairmont; eleven grandchildren, Kristy, Shaun and Courtney, Lisa and Adam, Alexis, Bailey, Elaina, Adam, Sierra, Neil and Brittany, Erica and Lonzo, and Tucker; twelve great grandchildren, Samuel, Lainey, Violet, Nevan, Aleigh, Addy, Anna, Holden, Kensin, Briella, Ariana, and Leo; several step grandchildren and step great grandchildren; two siblings, Denver Lamb and Deanna, Salem, Virginia Ferguson and Tom, Uhrichsville, OH; several nieces and nephews.
