Nov. 15, 1934 – Apr. 04, 2013
After a long journey with Dementia/Alzheimer’s disease, Phil passed peacefully April 4, in Victoria BC with family by his side. Predeceased by his parents and four siblings. Survived by his wife of 54 years, Annlyn, children Steven (Deb), Wendy (Stephen), Larry, Luanne (Kevin), Debbie (Brian) and grandchildren Tyler, Elizabeth, Maya and Brianne who he loved dearly, sisters-in-law Caroline Yendall and Joy Lambrick, nieces and nephews and many friends. Phil was born in Victoria and attended Gordon Head School and Mt. Douglas High School. His family owned and operated Gordon Head Dairy which is now Lambrick Park. Phil worked on the farm, was a building contractor and excavating contractor. He loved curling, golf, fishing, walking, camping, country western music and often said that one of the most fun times in his life was racing stock cars at Western Speedway. He loved working outdoors and always liked to be busy.
He was a past member of the Island Equipment Association, Victoria Home Builders Association, VITRA, Racquet Club of Victoria and other organizations, participating in whatever he was involved with. He always had a ready smile and brought joy and laughter to those around him. Our sincere thanks to Dr. Michael Vaughan and the wonderful staff at Gorge Road Hospital Arbutus View Unit for the loving care and attention they gave to Phil and support to Annlyn. Our thanks also to Dr. Jim Forster his favourite Physician for many years.
Phil will be missed by all and will be remembered with everlasting love and great memories.
Cremation, Royal Oak Burial Park, no service by request. Celebration of his life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC would be appreciated, (202 – 306 Burnside Road West, Victoria, BC, V8Z 1M1). Condolences may be offered below.

Barb Denney Dear Annlyn….
Although we only got to know you two in recent years through Minds in Motion, it was always a pleasure to be around both of you. You have been a lovely & inspiring couple. I always found Phil to be such a gentle, soft spoken, and engaging guy. And from what I know, that wasn’t a matter of mellowing or personality change…..he truly was that guy. You’re lucky to have had each other for so long. And now my thoughts are for you & the life change we both face. Take strength my friend. And I look forward to our continued friendship.

Anni & Jake Jakubowski We both are very sorry to hear of Phil’s passing. Phil was a very kind
and quiet fellow, but we do remember some great times in the old neighborhood. He will be at peace now and you all can look back
at all the lovely family memories.

Lorie & Bernie What will our group be like without him….definitely not the same! Such a gentle soul…..we both loved our talks, walks and laughs with Phil. June camping at Rondolyn….. we will have a Phil trophy for the winners of the golf! BZ will have to make it as one of his “special” projects.
All our love to you Mother Lambrick.

Thinking of you during this difficult time – we remember Phil from the Racquet Club days and, of course, the gatherings at the Bohnet’s. Another good guy gone too soon – cherish your memories and take care of each other.

Dave Street We were so sorry to see that Phil had passed away.
I went to Mount Doug High school with Phil, he was always
a soft spoken friend.My wife Carol Ann as a teenager was a friend of Ann Lyn Florence,
Phil’s wife. Our thoughts are with Ann Lyn and the family at
this time.
Although I have never met Lawrence Phil Lambrick, I was touched to learn of his sad passing last May when I googled my own name yesterday, and would like to offer condolences to his family and friends. From what I read of the tributes it seems to me that he was the kind of person I would have liked to know. I was born in 1933.
