Lamar Lundy dies at 71
Lamar Lundy, who many feel was one of Richmond's most famous athletes
having played defensive lineman for the Los Angeles Rams, died at 3:10
a.m. Saturday at Reid Hospital after a long illness.
Lundy, who battled diabetes, Graves disease, myasthenia gravis, cancer
and heart failure — some for more than four decades — was 71.
Lundy leaves a vibrant legacy in the world of sports and in Richmond,
the hometown he returned to in the 1980s. He is best known as one of the
Fearsome Foursome, the defensive linemen of the Los Angeles Rams in the
1960s.
In December, bedridden, he spoke with Palladium-Item Sports Editor Mike
Bennett on a range of issues from his spirituality to his passion for
sports and his failing health.
Despite 13 seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, Lundy died a Colts fan
during the same month the team won the Super Bowl.
Lundy leaves two adult sons and two adult daughters and many
grandchildren.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
