Jerry Leonard Lemon

I am pretty sure you were looking down on us the day of your Celebration of Life gathering. It was the most awesome heartfelt service I have ever attended. A true testament to you, the man everyone loved and admired. I will forever miss you and will be seeing you soon. Karen

I remember when I used to go in his bedroom, while he was at work, and listen to his Buddy Holly record. One day I accidentally dropped my gum on it. In trying to get it off I broke it. I was in real trouble. But he was mad,but cool,as usual. I'll miss you brother forever. Tell everyone waiting for the rest of us, we'll meet you again. Love ya your sister, Lynda

Our condolences to Jerry´s family and friends. We first met Jerry in 2004 when he retired from Homeland Security as port director for CBP. We´ll always remember his charm and common sense approach to problems that came up, with a quick anecdote of some past experience related to the topic at hand in a humorous undertone. God speed Jerry, and your memory will stay with us forever.

Then it was straight to my cousin Bob or John's bedroom to drive them crazy playing the Pachinco machine. Anytime "Fire" came up in any conversation in my life I could boast that my uncle is...

Am so sorry to hear if Jerry´s passing. He´ll be remembered by all he came into contact.

I was shocked when I first heard of his passing,but feel fortunate to have known him.He,along with Dwight Glass, were two that you always thought would be around. From my years as a volunteer firefighter with HFD#1, I'll always remember how he truly enjoyed what he did in the Department,as well as his great sense of humor. I was fortunate to have a visit with him when we came back to Eureka about five years ago for a memorial service for my Mom (We're now living in...

Will miss you always. You were the best big brother a girl could have. Love your youngest sister, Karen
