Citrus Heights, CA Sunday, October 25, 2020 Lamar, my good friend.We have been through a lot together working at McClellan. There was a few hard times but overall we had a lot of fun too. I was always so glad we Kelly in touch after retirement. I was sad when Janie passed and now you. I know both of you are in a better place. I will miss you tremendously. RIP Buddy -Mauris

Wilmar, AR Monday, October 12, 2020 I will miss Lamar's positive FB posts and his love of life and nature. He was a friend of many including my Mom and Uncle Bill. They bowled with Lamar and Jane. When I was a member of Bethel MBC in the Valley several years ago, Lamar was always encouraging and complimentary of our music program and you could tell he loved music. He and Jane were always good to my Mom after she was hurt and I'll always remember that kindness. Prayers, love and hugs to all of the family.Robert M Moore
