OBITUARIES
Lamar Roy Bostic
Lamar Roy Bostic, 69, of Garfield, Ark., died June 10, 2018, in Rogers, Ark.
A witness of Woodstock, one of a generation for the movement of the future, given a family by Doris Spencer and R.L. Bostic, Lamar Bostic lived an adventure rather than a lifetime. Lamar was born in DeWitt, backpacked through Europe, and landed a daughter, Lilly, in Rogers. With his daughter, he left gentle impressions on three other children who have given beautiful grandchildren. His legacy is not left in bloodline but in memory. Trees root, grow and fall. Their written tangles of lifetimes remain eternally within the earth.
