After his military service, John pursued a career in the trades, earning certifications in HVAC and dedicating many years to serving his community through his work at numerous gas companies and Yesterday Heating & Air. John was known for his warmth, sense of humor, and love of sharing memorable experiences with friends—especially trips to the casino and the cherished story of driving the Almond Brothers in his limousine.

John’s legacy lives on through his son, John E. Lamond II; his sister, Judy Lamond Lett and her significant other, Shirley; and his brothers, Larry Lamond and his wife, Zona, and Stephen Lamond and his wife, Dee Dee.
