One of Canada's most respected philatelists passed away on Monday, December 24, 2012 at the Grand River Hospital in Kitchener, Ontario. Richard (Dick) Lamb is best known to stamp collectors across Canada, in the U.S., Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia and elsewhere, as a knowledgeable stamp dealer who always strove to provide his customers, many of whom became lifelong friends, with quality stamps at a fair price. He enjoyed a sterling reputation as a dealer throughout his long career in the business.
Dick is survived by Kathryn, his beloved wife of 58 years, son David, daughter Jennifer and two grandchildren, Richard and Heidi.
A member of the leading British North America philatelic organizations, Dick was an honourary life member of The Royal Philatelic Society of Canada, the Canadian Stamp Dealers Association, and the Kitchener-Waterloo Philatelic Society. He was elected a Fellow of The Royal Philatelic Society of Canada in 2002. A supporter of organized philately at all levels, Dick was one of the major guarantors of CAPEX '78. He was also a member of various study groups at one time or another, including the Canadian Re-entry group, the Cyprus Study Circle, the Hong Kong Study Circle, Large and Small Queen Study Circle, and the Squared Circle Study Group, among others.
As a leading expert on British North America and British Commonwealth stamps and postal history, Dick enjoyed longtime memberships in the British North America Philatelic Society, Canadian Philatelic Society of Great Britain, and the Postal History Society of Canada. He was also a longtime member of the American Philatelic Society and the Philatelic Traders' Society.
Dick served on The Greene Foundation Expert Committee for ten years until 2004 when the drive from Kitchener to Toronto on Highway 401 became too onerous.
Besides his involvement in stamps, Dick's pastimes included gardening, bird watching, and playing cricket. He enjoyed nothing more than growing loads of vegetables and berries in the family's expansive backyard garden. It was so large that it was ploughed spring and fall by a farmer's tractor until that farmer passed away a few years ago. Besides meeting the family's needs, his yields were usually large enough to satiate the hunger of area wildlife that his garden attracted with enough left over to share with friends, neighbours and the local food bank.
Although congestive heart failure and cancer overtook him, he remained active in the hobby almost to the end. He attended a meeting of his local stamp club only the month before succumbing to his illnesses. Dick will be missed not only by his family, but also by the many collectors who called him a friend.

It is with great sadness to learn the passing of Mr. Richard Lamb. We heard many wonderful stories in the life of Mr Lamb. His love of the garden and his rare stamp collection was especially memorable. We send our deepest condolences to the family and hope with the love from friends and family will bring a peaceful moment during this difficult time.

Art and I have been thinking of you during the most difficult time. I have many happy memories of time spent in the Lamb household during my childhood days. Your father will remain in my memory as someone who was happy and content with his life and his surroundings.

David, Mona and Jenny: Your father's widespread reputation for integrity is an admirable legacy. I consider myself fortunate for having known him and for our last meeting in May to discuss shared interests: postal history, family connections, and local birds. His death leaves a great gap in our lives.

Dick was a great philatelist, and we shared other common interests: gardening and birds. I'll miss his pricelists!
