Not sure what to say?

To Lamarr's Family:
I just learned of Lamarr's passing. It was sad to hear but I was revisited with warm memories of working with him a lifetime ago in the PD library. He was a joy to be around. A polished man with a beautiful spirit.
I will keep his loved ones in my prayers.

Anyone who knew and worked with Lamarr smiles at his memory and is saddened at his passing. A good man.

Elaine, thank you so much for standing by my cousin's side through good and challenging times. I pray that his suffering is over, I know he is in a better place. Mardi

Sister Elaine,
It is so wonderful to that our Brother Lamarr left a good example for those he knew and worked with.

He has done as Jesus said, "Endured to the End" how wonderful. (Matt. 24:13) I do not remember ever meeting him. One day soon though I hope I will be there to meet him in Paradise"
Take care! Always!

Dear Elaine and family,
With you in looking forward to the resurrection of your loved one and our dear brother. "To Jehovah the Sovereign Lord belong the ways out from death."-Ps, 69:20

I'll remember Lamarr as a kind gentleman who was not afraid to let his religious convictions show.
It was a pleasure working with him

I was privileged to work with Lamarr for many years at The Plain Dealer. He was always pleasant, cheerful and helpful - a fine example of a Christian gentleman. In your sorrow, please take comfort in knowing that along his life's pathway, Lamarr touched many lives, and left us all the better for having known him.

Dear Elaine and Family,
Although I left the PD a few years ago, my memories of Lamarr are vivid. He was always so helpful! My he rest in peace.

I worked with Lamarr for several years at The Plain Dealer. We were both copyaides in the late 1970s. What a delightful man. He was kind to everyone he encountered and was a pleasure to work with. My thoughts are with you.
