LaMont’s first barber shop was in Wolsey, SD in 1963. From there he barbered in Yankton and Utica in 1971 until he found his forever shop in Tyndall, SD in 1981, working until retirement in 2019. He and JoAnn moved to Sioux Falls in 2020 to be with family, where he spent the remainder of his years.

LaMont was an avid baseball fan, especially when the Atlanta Braves were playing. He made many hunting outings with his son, Jade, nephew, Chuck and special black labs, Brooke and Abby. LaMont enjoyed bowling, country music, and trips to Nashville and Branson with JoAnn. He loved playing with his grandkids and watching them in all their activities.

LaMont loved to visit and tell stories, make people laugh and was always willing to help others. As his son-in-law said, “It’s always an adventure when LaMont is involved.” He will be deeply missed by his grandkids, as they were the light of his life.
