My prayers for your family for your loss.
My brother, Dennis Maxim, who passed in 2022, spoke so much and so highly of Bob for many years.  I never was lucky enough to meet Bob, and my brother was happy to call him a "friend".

again, my condolences.

Most people at Chesterland Baptist knew Bob as our faithful custodian and as a longtime Boy Scout leader. I had the privilege of knowing him a little differently.

For more than twenty years, Bob and I served the church together. Technically, he reported to me as Chairman of the Trustees, but over time he became much more than that. He became a trusted partner and a dear friend.

Bob was one of those rare people who quietly carried responsibility wherever he went. He noticed the things others overlooked, responded whenever the church needed him, and faithfully cared for this place as if it were his own. Because of his dedication, the church so many of us worship in today is in the condition it is.

What many people may not have realized is that the same character he brought to the church had already been forged over a lifetime of service—working on the road crew, serving as a volunteer firefighter and vice chief, and giving an incredible 61 years to Boy Scouts. He helped shape generations of young men, and I have no doubt there are many Eagle Scouts whose lives would have taken a different path without his encouragement.

Looking back, I believe God blessed both Bob and our church by bringing us together. The church gave Bob meaningful work, and Bob gave the church far more than anyone could have expected. He earned something that cannot be given by a title or an award—he earned our trust.

I'll always miss working beside him, hearing him call me "Robert," and knowing that whatever needed to be done, Bob would already be thinking about it.

Thank you, my friend. Your quiet faithfulness changed this church, changed many lives—including mine—and your legacy will continue for generations.

I am so sorry for your loss.  My son was in  Boy Scouts. He became an Eagle Scout and was accepted into the Order of the Arrow as a direct result of the support and guidance that Mr. Lamoreau  provided  to not only my son, but to countless other scouts over the years.  Rest in peace and many blessings .  You will be missed.  Marcia Powers McKinney.

My heart is heavy knowing Mr. Lamoreaux is no longer with us. I was one of many young Scouts in the 70s and beyond whose lives were impacted by his guidance and kindness for decades. He was a rock of the Boy Scouts in Northeast Ohio, ever-present at Scouting events in the area, and it was always a joy to see him.  He was an outstanding role model, and I can truly say my dad and I loved him and respected him like family. I’m forever grateful for his presence in my life. May his wonderful memory remain eternal.

I met Bob and Joyce at what was then Town House Restaurant (now the Silver Skillet). I just started sitting with them, and they welcomed me like an old friend. So goodbye, my old friend. Give my love to Joyce.

Bob and Joyce were neighbors of my parents Ralph and Barbara McMillin. Over the years Bob and my Dad had become very good friends. My Dad love to sit outside and Bob would walk over and the two of them would BS as old men do. As Dad got older, Bob would come and cut the grass and keep Dad company he was truly a good friend and neighbor,he will be greatly missed.RIP❤️

Bob  was a great guy . He and his family brought a lot of joy to our family farm in PA. They spent a lot of there vacations on our  farm.  Bob would put on his cutoff shorts and go rake hay getting his legs burned. But he had fun and enjoyed it. The memories will always be with us.

He will be missed. 
Praying for the family

I am sending my deepest condolences to the entire family. I had the privilege of meeting Bob and his wife. I met them through mutual friends. As well as through their son Tim.
Bob
was a wonderful man, had a great sense of humor and very humble. It was a great privilege to have known Bob!
