  2. Lamar Y’Barbo was a valiant beret, great chief of the fire department, an avid member of the forest service. I don’t think he missed a convention. He was absolute awesome as smokey the bear!
    You missed one thing though he also worked as a police officer for a short time. But the thing he was the best at was being my grandfather.
    I will always remember you paw paw.
