Dennis B. Lambert

Dennis B. Lambert, 69, of Sparta, passed away peacefully in the early morning on November 28, 2018 at the Morrow Home in Sparta after a long battle with diabetes. He is now in a place where he can move freely unencumbered by prosthesis or wheelchair. May his spirit soar!

Following high school Dennis attended UW Platteville and UW La Crosse. He served his country in the US Army until his honorable discharge in September of 1972.
