Alton, NH Surrounded by his loving family, George F. Lamper, Jr., age 65, of Alton, went to be with his Savior on July 16, 2012. George was born the son of George F. Lamper, Sr. and Virginia E. (Swett) Lamper on March 4, 1947. He resided in Alton for most of his life. He was self-employed as a stone-mason and landscaper for many years. More recently, he was employed with Wal-Mart for 16 years. George gave his heart to the Lord on August 28, 1981, and he continued to love the Lord as a faithful member of the First Free Will Baptist Church in New Durham. In his 30 years of service at the church, he drove the Sunday School bus, sang in the choir, prayed and supported missionaries, and warmly greeted every person who came through the door (with a hug and a kiss for all who were willing). George was known as “the friendly giant”- all who knew him couldn’t help but love him. His hobbies included gardening, fishing, camping, and motorcycle riding. As a play-by-ear guitarist and a booming bass singer, he brought joy to people at church, home, and around the campfire. George will be greatly missed by his devoted wife of 31 years, Margery Lee (Thomas) Lamper, and their children Charlene Virginia Lamper and George Thomas Lamper “Tommy”. Other family members include a sister Ginny Caverly, two brothers, Harland Lamper and Fred Lamper, and several cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, and half the town of Alton. Calling hours will be Thursday, 19 July 2012 from 6-8 pm at Peaslee’s Alton Funeral Home- 12 School Street, Alton, NH. The funeral service will be held on Friday, 20 July 2012 at 11:00 am, at First Free Will Baptist Church- 20 Depot Road in New Durham, NH. Pastor James Nason will lead the service.
