Lamar was so special to our family. He taught our Sunday School class at Midway UMC for many years, and the class was later named for him. Lamar is truly a Saint!

I am so sad to learn of Lamar's passing. The first time I met Lamar was when JoAnne invited him to go with her on a church hayride. We had a great time and he was so much fun. Great memories of our years together at Park Street. Praying for JoAnne and his family during this difficult time.

So very sorry to hear of Lamar's passing. He was truly a Christian in every sense of the word. I always enjoyed his personality, his wit, and his knowledge of the Bible. I remember his teaching our Sunday School class at Park Street Methodist Church when our regular teacher was absent. We should all live by the principles, standards and faith which Lamar exemplified. My sincere sympathy to all his family.
