I will miss Lem calling the bank and asking for me. He’d usually call me “Trouble”. He was a special person to us all.

Brother Lem, was a dear friend on Facebook & I am truly going to miss him. He was a good man & had a small amount of mischief. To go along with his good preaching. I really loved his sense of humor. He was a true Navy man & a Trump supporter. Yes Brother Lem will be missed terrible but we know for sure we can see him again one day. Thoughts and prayers for all his family. God Bless you each & everyone.

To the family of Lem, I will miss his wisdom and truth. He was interesting to talk to, very kind and knowledgeable. I liked that he was so common sense about God and easy to discuss spiritual things with. You have my prayers for courage and strength to go through this sad time. We all who were his FB friends, although we never met, will carry his knowledge and wisdom for the rest of our lives. Deepest sympathy to you all.

Dear Family,
I grew up just up the hill from where your father was raised. He was always just the nicest person to everyone. I enjoyed living near the Sprinkle family. My thoughts & prayers will be with you during this time.

Lem was my cousin. His dad and my mom were family.I always enjoyed listening to Lemuel speaking especially prayers at Sprinkle family reunions. I wish I could have heard him preach but never did living in Charlotte area . I was proud of him, loved him dearly and I enjoyed FaceTime with him! God received another angel we lost a mighty fine man.

I met this man Sunday, July 4th, 1966, believe it or not, at the Yadkin River. It was a click right away!! But, I was 15 and he was 21, but as fate would have it, we were married in April of 1967. We had 17 years together and have two beautiful kids, Bryan and Teressa, who turned out to be very smart astute adults. Even though we were no longer together, we did learn to be how to be friends to each other, because we did have kids and grandkids.
I know the Lord met him with open arms on Friday evening, as did Grand-daddy, grandmother and Aunt Wanda. He's finally home...... Amen........
