I am saddened to hear of the passing of my best friend Lamont. We grew up together, we had a lot of fun driving and cycling all over Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, and the Bronx. We would make mix tapes and had many a laugh listening to comedy records. When I moved to the midwest Lamont always kept me updated on what was going on in MV. I know Lamont is in a better place now, he has suffered so much. God will take care of him now. My condolences to Mr. & Mrs. Oakes, Michael, and Bonnie.
