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.
