Howland – Kyriakos “Charles” Lambis, 60, passed away Monday, June 8, 2020, at the Hospice House in Poland.
He was born January 5, 1960, in Rhodes, Greece, the son of Fotios and Fedra Lambis.
He was a 1978 graduate of Warren Western Reserve High School, and a 1985 graduate of Youngstown State University, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Material Science.
He worked for AK Steel, Severstal, and Rouge as a metallurgical engineer for 34 years. He previously worked at the Ford and Chrysler Plants.
Kyriakos was a member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Warren, and also belonged to the AHEPA Zeus 88, and the Pan Rhodian Society. He enjoyed traveling, was an avid reader and swimmer.
Kyriakos was an incredible husband, father, son and brother, and was deeply loved by all his family. He loved to take care of everyone and could answer any question. He was known by family as our human google. His quick-wit was unmatched, and all who knew him will remember his lighthearted sense of humor, and sweet laughter. Despite his challenges over his ten-year battle, he never complained, never burdened anyone with his fears, his worries or his problems. His faith remained un-wavered throughout, and the love and pride he had for his wife and daughter only grew stronger.
He is survived by his wife Sotiria “Cindy” Lambis whom he married November 7, 1987, his daughter Leetsa Lambis of Warren, his mother Fedra Lambis of Warren, a sister Penny (John) Tataris of Howland and his mother-in-law Flora Fakkas of Warren, numerous brothers and sister-in-law’s as well as nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his father, his father-in-law Emanuel Fakkas and a brother-in-law Savas Fakkas.
