LaMore, Robert Joel

October 13, 1933 - May 5, 2025

Robert “Mr. Perfect” LaMore passed away on May 5, 2025 peacefully at his home at the age of 91. Bob is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 52 years, Jenny LaMore; parents Loren (Red) and Esther LaMore; sister Patricia (Bob) Otto and great-grandson Owen Burton.  Surviving are his three sons, Brad (Margie), Doug (Gina), and Russ (Timi), as well as 7 grandchildren Adam (Maggie), Anna (Peter), Mason, Ainsley, Ginger, Donna, and Mindy, and 5 great-grandchildren and sisters Pam (George) Hamamoto and Penny (Bill) Broderick.

Born and raised in Webster Groves, Bob graduated from Webster Groves High School and Central Methodist University. He served two years in the Army, including a tour of duty in Japan, before returning home to marry his college sweetheart, Jenny. He spent his career running the family business, Red LaMore Body Company in Webster Groves, and enjoyed interacting with the extensive and loyal customer base.  Bob was a long-time member of the Contemporary Sunday School Class at Webster Hills UMC where he formed lifelong friendships.

Through the years Bob enjoyed gardening, tennis and entertaining friends and family around the pool or while pumping his player piano as everyone sang along.  Bob had a passion for collecting and restoring classic cars, especially unique ones. He also enjoyed spending time outdoors at his “Karefree Acres” in Gerald, MO boating and jet skiing where he taught many of his grandchildren to do the same.
