Doris was born in Tupper Lake, NY on July 24th 1936, to Homer and Dezira LaMare of Tupper Lake (Faust), NY. Doris never married, but selflessly dedicated his life to the care for his mother and sister.

Doris returned to civilian life at 105 Washington Street Faust, NY in June of 1961 and worked for Johnson Brothers and eventually Tupper Lake Supply. He was exceptionally talented and skilled when it came to improving efficiencies around the home and what stood out the most were his arts and craft skills.
Many may remember the intricate and fun Christmas displays of small towns, nativity scenes, and fun villages that even included town patrons and mountain skiers. It seemed like on certain days that whole town would come down to see what the clever Doris had put together. On top of that, Doris was also a skilled outdoorsman. Enjoying the many wonderful opportunities the Adirondacks provided.
Doris is survived by his older brother Homer (Bucko) and wife Mae LaMare and sister-in Law Theresa LaMare of Tupper Lake, NY. Also survived are his many loving nieces and nephews.
