George Samuel Lambros, 73 years young, a proud first-generation Greek American of Kansas City, Missouri was welcomed into Heaven on Saturday, September 2, 2023. He was born September 8, 1949, in Kansas City, Missouri.

He was a faithful son, a loving husband, a selfless father to his three children, and a doting Grandpa to his 7 grandchildren.

After discharge, he began his career at the Kansas City Star as a pressman. After retiring from the newspaper in 1989 he began a career in sales working for numerous companies but ending his career at CEI Electrical and Mechanical.

George was a very social person and loved visiting with family and countless lifelong friends who became like family. He enjoyed snow skiing, swimming, music of all genres, and horror films. He loved Pam’s lasagna, his sister’s pies, ice-cold milk, Coca-Cola and cheeseburgers.

He was preceded in death by his parents Mary and John Lambros; his son Richard Travis Lambros; his brother Nick and sister-in-law Willa Lambros; in-laws Billie and Richard Belser; and sister-in-law Sherry McCarthy.
