'Everybody knew Lamar': longest-serving former Concord councilperson dies


He just knew everybody, and everybody knew Lamar, said former Concord Mayor Scott Padgett.
Padgett and several other community leaders spoke with the Independent Tribune Wednesday, July 7, to remember the legacy and impact of former and longest-serving Concord City Council person William Lamar Barrier.
It was announced Tuesday, July 6, that Barrier, 72, had passed away at his home after being recently diagnosed with incurable chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
Padgett, a long time colleague and friend, said Barrier s greatest legacy in the Concord community was his impact on its people.  
When you are so well known in the community that peopel don t use your last name, they just say Lamar  — just think how long it takes to build that kind of reputation. Few of us will ever have that, Padgett said.  ....
