A LIFE TO REMEMBER A LOVE TO CHERISH
Armarnauth Lachhman, affectionately called Amo, was born on December 22, 1959 in the village of Port Mourant, in Guyana. He was the son of David and Janey Lachhman Gocool. He grew up in Guyana and as a young man married Kamee, daughter of Joseph Yank, who hailed from the same village. To their union was born two children, Andrew and Stephanie, he was a devoted husband and a loving father. His children were his pride and joy. He was always family oriented. His brothers, Vernon, Orie, Gopaul and Pepe found him to be caring and dependable.
He did live up to his nickname of Amo, I love, since he always lived a rife of love and loving concern for others. Amo was a fun loving man who enjoyed sports and who played Volleyball at the Nafional level. He was a very hardworking industrious man who migrated to the United States and worked at being a good provider for his family. At the same time, he was always willing and ready to share whatever he had. He prided himself on his strength and was known to pull a washing machine up a flight of stairs. Amo's family and friends will miss his voice and his laughter. He will be missed for his many talents and gifts. He will missed for the excitement which accompanied any discussion about his children and he will be missed for the love and the kindness which he always showed to others.
He will not grow old As we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary him Nor the years condemn.
In the morning, in the evening And at noontide,
We will always remember him.
New York Times Portraits of Grief
Don't be on the other side of the net. That was the sound advice opposition volleyball players learned about Amarnauth Lachhman. He possessed a devastating ability to spike the ball. Small wonder. He was six feet two, 220 pounds. Who would want to be on the other side of the net? "He was just awesome at spiking," said Gopaul Lachhman, one of his brothers.
A strong but gentle man, Mr. Lachhman, 41, started playing volleyball when he was a teenager in his native Guyana. He became so proficient that twice he was selected to play on the national team that competed against teams of other countries.
In the early 1980's, Mr. Lachhman settled in the United States, and eventually got into construction work. He was employed by PM Contracting, and was doing office renovations for Cantor Fitzgerald.
In Valley Stream, on Long Island, where he lived with his wife, Kamee, and his two children, Andrew, 13, and Stephanie, 7, he continued to indulge his knack for volleyball. He played with his son in the backyard, and he put together periodic adult games in the park. Everyone always wanted to be on his team, because it invariably won. "Whenever there was a big play, they would go to him," Mrs. Lachhman said.
In the evenings, his interest switched to Clint Eastwood, whose movies he adored. Each time "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" came on, volleyball yielded to the television set.
