I am sad to hear of LaMar's passing. Having read his biography I can only say he led a full life and did much. As an educator I am astonished at the number of students he taught and the length of time he was involved. A remarkable man.
I will be sending a donation to the U of U Dept. of Music in his honor.
Sincerely, Jerry S. Dixon

For me, LaMar will live on as the man whose music and companionship brought so much joy to my grandparents, Justin & Martha Stewart.

As a newly named associate editor of Utah Historical Quarterly in 1971 I had my first encounter with LaMar on the editorial board, and it was love at first sight! As I told Martha Stewart: "He's a giant teddy bear. You just want to hug him!" Not wanting to embarrass him, I didn't give into that whim. LaMar was also for me a man of good cheer, full of the joie de vivre, unfailingly polite and gentlemanly. Behind his kindly smile lurked an informed intelligence, but he never flaunted his knowledge. He thought deeply about important matters and was happy to discuss them, but such philosophizing didn't seem to darken his perspective as happens to so many. He was a wise and smiling sunbeam and I will remember him as such.

I just wanted to offer condolences to the family of LaMar Petersen and pay my respects to a very kind, patient and generous person with whom I had some fascinating conversations as a college student. In the old Atlas Bldg, LaMar's office door was always open & the titles of his printed brochures caught my interest. He gave several of them to me to read & we had many interesting discussions while I waited for my violin lessons with Reginald Beales.
