I share some of the words of men who served with him, what an inspiring story and a sad loss to his family and friends:
 
"Served with the Colonel in the 103rd from November 1989 to November 1992 in Wurzburg, Germany.  I remember his as a caring Commander.  My prayers to his family   HOOWA!, R. Roche"
 
"lTC Lamond was one of my battalion commanders during my time at the 103rd MI Bn Wurzburg, Germany from December 1988 to June 1992.  He was tough but he was fair.  I enjoyed being under his command.  I am saddened by his passing.  May god rest his soul and comfort those he left behind., D. Emmith"
 
"I was one of the Colonels drivers in 1991 in Wurzburg, Germany.  He was a great man and leader.  He really cared for his troops and it was an honor to serve under him. B. Zink"
 
"I met Greg, his lovely wife, Danielle, and their young children, Shane and Nicole, when I arrived in Wurzburg, Germany with my family and joined the staff of the 3rd Infrantry (Marne) Division as the G-2 (senior intelligence officer) in June 1981.  Beginning with our service together in the Marne Division at the height of the Cold War, we remained close friends for over 35 years until Greg's recent untimely passing.  For two of the three year I was the Division G-2, Greg was my deputy and or operations officer.
I knew at the time Greg and I served together that we were extremely fortunate to have an officer of his caliber on the G-2 staff, an outstanding soldier and a natural leader who was a true professional, inspiring soldiers of all ranks.  I have realized it even more over the years since in watching his career in uniform and continuing in the defense industry following his retirement from the Army.  Colonel Greg Lamond's contributions to the U.S. Army and the nation throughout his career, especially to the Military Intelligence Corps and th U.S. Intelligence Community, were legendary and the many recognitions he received over the years were extrememly well deserved.  May he rest in peace.  T. Fergusson"
 
"I worked with, then Major Lamond when he was the S-3 of the 103rd Ml Bn and I was in the G-2 at 7th Corp.  He was a smart, tough officer who kept the welfare of his men as his first priority. 
I worked with him again as a contractor when he hired me at McClendon Corporation to work at the Navy Yard.  A great officer and a great COO.  M. Hodnett"
 
"I worked with Greg in BLDG. 213 in the 70's.  He was very impressive.  Probably one of the smartest, hardest working officer I ever encountered.  He will be missed.  L. McNamara"
