87, of Cumberland passed away on April 3rd of a broken heart. He lost the love of his life, Irene, on New Years Day, after a spectacular 65 years of marriage. A devoted husband, father and grandfather, he leaves 5 children: Elaine Robertson and her husband, Charles of Milford, CT; Richard Lamontagne and wife, Alicia of Port St. Lucie, FL; David Lamontagne and wife, Gladys of Lincoln; Michael Lamontagne and wife, Elaine of Johnston; and Steven Lamontagne and wife, Kathryn of Lake Forest, IL; 14 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
Moe left a lasting impression on people who surrounded him, sharing stories on life and love, and his "Moe-isms", leaving people with a smile on their face. Coming from a less fortunate life in Central Falls, RI, he made for an amazing life for Irene and his children through a strong work ethic and "family first" always approach, with love as a foundation for everything. Losing Irene left a hole in his heart and time for his aging body to catch up with him, making this loss a time of celebration of their reunion. Born to the late Henri and Josephine (Hemond) Lamontagne, he worked as an auto mechanic in the 1950's, a caterer, and maintenance at the Health Tex Clothing Company, before retiring from Almacs Supermarkets 25 years ago as a field maintenance technician. He is predeceased by brother, Lucien and is survived by brother, Roger.
