Bill Lamb was loved. He was born on January 16 1961, in Geneva NY, with two older siblings and a host of pals on Cornwall Road that romped about together. He was involved with scouting in Troop 4, the Presbyterian Church in Geneva, athletics, and getting into mischief. He graduated from Geneva High School in 1979. He went on to earn a bachelor's degree in political science with honors from Elmira College in 1985. This interest followed him throughout his life as a self-described "news junkie." He was an avid photographer, a collector, and an outdoorsman.

Bill met his wife Lauren in Seattle while working in the hotel business and they married in 1989. Their love was full of loud laughter and gentle teasing and based in deep mutual respect and care. They moved back to Geneva to be close to Bill's folks after his father got sick. He then earned his master's in social work from Roberts Wesleyan in 2004. This led to a 21-year career at Catholic Charities of the Finger Lakes doing the thing he most loved – helping people. He was kind and compassionate, dedicated and deliberate in his efforts to lessen the burdens of others. He loved his family, LOVED his family, and was never shy about expressing that. On any given evening, he could be found dancing in the kitchen with them to music on the stereo while helping get dinner ready.

His will be a monumental loss to anyone who knew him.
