Harold Franklin Lambert, Jr., 74, of Houston, died Wednesday, January 31, 2024. He was born on March 15, 1949, in Houston TX, to Harold and Lois Lambert.

Hal was an honored graduate of Texas A&M University, and during his time at College Station, was a member of the Corps of Cadets, a tradition he continued as an infantry Officer in the Army and then in the Army Reserves, retiring at the rank of Major.

He spent many years working as an accountant during which he formed many friendships, staying close with many of his fellow Aggies. He loved going to A&M games at Kyle Field, cooking Blazing Tongue chili and mouthwatering brisket, both of which garnered him many awards. He loved his family, and though he did not wear his emotions on his sleeve, those who knew him best knew his heart.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Lois Lambert, his stepmother, Jean Lambert, and sister-in-law Karen Thompson.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on February 8th at The First Baptist Church in Winnie, Tx. Visitation with the family will begin at 5:00 pm and service will start 6:00 pm. The family is asking that everyone please come in your favorite A&M game day attire or maroon in support of the love Hal had for A&M.
