Like so many people in Madison, I knew and admired LaMarr Billups. Sunday afternoon, hundreds of those people came together at Edgewood College?s St. Joseph?s chapel to pay their respects to a man who meant so much to so many causes and programs in our community.
LaMarr passed away on Nov. 11th at his home in Falls Church, Va., where he had been living since he left his job at the UW to join the staff at Georgetown University. He was only 59, but in those years he built a legacy that will survive him for years and years to come.
