Wayne T. Lamond, 71 of Norwood passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Monday, October 9, 2017. He was born and raised in the Lawndale section of Philadelphia and attended Frankford High School. Wayne lived in Sharon Hill for 30 years before moving to Norwood in 2002.
Wayne served in the Navy from 1964 - 1968 and was stationed in San Diego on the USS Montrose APA212. After the service he worked with Russell Meyers roofing for 20 years. He then worked as a trailer mechanic with Crowley Maritime for 20 years before retiring in 2008.
After retirement he became more involved with the Vietnam Veterans Chapter of Delaware County #67. He was part of their Color Guard and participated in countless ceremonies and parades in the area. He was also part of the chapter’s education program where along with other Vietnam Veterans they educated High school students about their personal experiences during that campaign.
Wayne spent many summers as a child with his family in Townsends Inlet where he learned to fish. He loved to fish anywhere with friends and family from a boat or just from a dock. He shared this love with all of his Grandchildren and when each of them turned 5 they got to go fishing with their Pop. Wayne enjoyed skiing and golf as well. He was also a long time member of the Sharon Hill Fire Company and marched at the State Convention since the 70’s. He was also a member of the VFW and the American legion. Wayne was a people person and a friend to all he met. He loved attending reunions, especially those from the old neighborhood, and with his shipmates from the USS Montrose. Whether seeing him in the Acme or simply posting something on Facebook he had nothing but nice things to say to everyone.
