As a researcher, he did field work in American Samoa, Bali, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. He wrote more than 50 scientific papers on botanical subjects and was a member of several professional and scientific societies. Among the thousands of students Lamoureux taught through the years, several have become botanists. His more famous students, each of whom learned something about Hawaiian plants in his courses, include former Hawai'i Superintendent of Education Herman Aizawa, Lieutenant Governor Mazie Hirono and Hawaiian musician Sistah Robi Kahakalau. Our thoughts go out to his family at this time.
Memorial services are pending.
