Prayers and condolences to his family.
Living only an hour or so north of Lamont's place here in MN I was lucky enough to visit with him many times over the years.  
Lamont was, as some have already said, one of the greats of archery.  His shop, The Footed Shaft, was a wonderful place to visit with him.  From all the old  bows he had on display on the ceiling to all the old archery magazines and books - Lamont was a treasure trove of all the stuff and stories that continue to keep me loving our great sport all these years.

One quick story that shows a little bit of what Lamont was like:

I'd known Lamont as a customer for about 20 years - but was never a close friend, although he always made me (and eventually my son) feel that way.  My wife has a number of health problems, some of them have needed care from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN.  Lamont's shop is only about 10 minutes from where we were staying there.
Many of my wifes appointments would run 2 or more hours, any of you that have had to deal with health problems know how much waiting there is, so she suggested that I go visit Lamont.
Since we had to be at the Mayo many times that Summer I would spend a few hours  at Lamonts when it worked out.
Lamont was always a gracious host, especially considering that I could not afford to buy things every time I was there.
Once Lamont found out that I was with my wife at the Mayo it did not take long for him to begin offering me books and videos  to take with me (borrow) to help make this trying time easier.  
One of the videos was very rare footage of Paul Schafer on a number of hunting trips with his friends in Alaska!  

He never hesitated to offer his time to share his knowledge and even some of his prized archery items.

I'll never forget Lamonts kindness, vast knowledge of archery and great sense of humor - he will be missed.

Traditional archery lost a giant of a man.  I've bought many bows and sold a passel of them also through Lamont's shop.  I always looked forward to my trips to Rochester to "talk shop" with a true encyclopedia of trad archery.  Lamont always truly seemed glad to see his bow clients and my wife and I spent many hours looking at every piece of equipment he had in his shop.  He will be missed.  Our condolences to his family.  He was so proud of his grandkids and loved his St. Bernard friends!

Great guy to deal with, he will be missed. The shop seems to be in good hands with the new owners, I hope they do well.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet Lamont,  he will be missed.  Thoughts and prayers to his family.

It definitely sad news. Lamont was always there to help and answer questions.  It will be something I will think of in years to come since it was opening weekend of the bow season here in Minnesota.

A fine man and a good friend,my wife went through breast cancer earlier this year and every time we saw LaMont he was more concerned with her welfare that his own.

He will truly be missed.

Lamont touched the lives of many people and always in a positive way, I got to spend a couple hrs with him this last wensday and I am glad I did.I have known Lamont for 20 plus years, he was a friend, a mentor and was truely one of the good guys. My condolemces to the Granger family and all of Lamonts friends. Ron Roehrick.

My condolences to Lamont's family . I looked forward to receiving the Footed Shaft Catalog just to see how big his grand kids were getting.  A good honest man he will be missed by all.
