To: Michelle, Duke, Dutchess,

Words could never express the deep loss of losing Attorney Victor Mclemore. I pray that you find peace in knowing that in heaven, God had a special trial and their was only one attorney who could handle the case. I speak from experience because he was the only one who could have handled my special case here on earth. Because of Victor my family and I have been able to enjoy all that life has to offer. I will be forever grateful that my friend believed in me and I wrap myself in the peace of knowing that "my attorney" has left a legacy that will live forever. I thank you for sharing Victor.

I worked and laughed with Victor at the NLRB many years ago, and considered him an able litigator and a worthy advocate. Please accept my deep regrets for your loss.

To all of Vic's Family

Vic was truly special. It seems that the special ones among us come into this life and quickly get about the business of helping others, doing their life's work and enjoying the fullness of life . It is as if they know internally that their time on this earth will be short. Vic,you were my Local Union President at Region 10 NLRB and I will always be inspired by your bravery!

I am so saddened to hear this news. Although I got the message too late to attend the services, Nicky and his family are in our prayers. Nicky was always so much fun to be around during our time together at St. Pius. I remember our last re-union at Michael deGolian’s and we laughed about the good times and crazy things that happened back in those days. He will be missed. So, let’s remember the laughter and joy that Nicky shared with us all.

To the McLemores:

Nicky was a close friend of my brother's and my whole family for so many years at St. Pius. Over the last few years, I would see him occasionally at the Fulton County Courthouse. Just a few weeks ago, I called him about a case, and we laughed and talked about old times for almost an hour. I feel so fortunate to have been able to have this special conversation with him, and I am deeply saddened by the news of his death.

Much love to Nicky's family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Duke and Duchess. Victor took us under his wings when we relocated back to Atlanta and he made the transition so much easier. From schools to activities he was always there to give us advice. He will truly be missed.

Bert Nasuti

August 4, 2006

We were shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of our dear friend Nicky. From the time we met in the 8th grade, while attending different parochial schools, to being classmates at St. Pius, Nicky was someone special. We served on student council together and Nicky was our student body president. We played football for the Golden Lions. We grew up together. Nicky was always close by and always special. He was always there for others. My parents, my sisters, and me and my friends loved Nicky. He was and became everyone's friend with whom he came in contact. We stayed in touch through the years and even got to deal with each other professionally as fellow members of the bar. Nicky, we love you, miss you, and you'll never be forgotten. Andrew and the McLemore family, our thoughts and prayers are with you always - Bert Nasuti and family - St. Pius Class of 1975

Mrs. MeLemore and family,

My deepest sympathy in your loss of your husband and father. I pray that each day brings you peace in your hearts. The loss of a loved one is hard to endure, but thru the love of Jesus we can be made strong to keep going in the face of such overwhelming saddness.

NIcky was a year ahead of me at St. Pius and I will always remember his smile and positive attitude. Whenever things looked down he was the one who ALWAYS found the sunny side,

God bless you and your family.

Victor (Vic) was one of my best friends and respected colleague at the NLRB. He brought me joy and laughter everyday for 6 years. He always expressed his deep love for his mother, wife and children. I will always remember his great smile, his mischievous ways, and most of all, his beautiful personality. God bless. Sharon Effatt Howard and family.

To the McLemore Family -- I am an attorney with the NLRB in Kansas City. I met Victor during our Union's convention many years ago. He was a quick-witted, down-to-earth brother, who exuded class and intergity, and with whom I developed an instant bond. Although Victor and I had not talked in several years, he still crossed my mind quite often. Victor clearly touched a lot of people and because of his deeds for others, he will live forever.

We were so very saddened to receive the e-mail from David Buechner, St. Pius Alumni Director, telling us of the passing of one of the best souls to grace the halls of St. Pius. I was two years younger than Nicky and he always looked out for me. His bright smile and love for all is our loss and heaven's gain. May our Lord comfort you and give you peace.

Dear Victor:

You left before I got a chance to say Good Bye. We sure enjoyed life to the fullest, you and I. We were friends, we were co-workers, we were sister and brother, and we were neighbors. We were NLRBU President and Vice President. You were a good partner, and we sure did give them what for together. We helped our fellow man, and we loved what we did. I watched your children grow, and I found a friend in Michele and your mom. I still laugh at our folly, and you know I always had to have the last word. Smile. Well, I'll be trying to keep things together around here as much as possible. Just don't go around trying to run things up there. Love, Judy

Oh what a joy! to come in contact with Mr. McLemore. He was truly heaven sent, because he always brought laughter and you knew that you were alive when you were around him. We always welcomed seeing him in the courthouse. May the Lord comfort you during this journey of your life and take comfort in the loving memories of such a special person.

Dear Michele, Dutchess and Duke:

My heart was sadden when I heard the news of my friend Nicky. I always looked forward to seeing him and talking with him. He was a special guy. Nicky was a little brother to me and my brother Jeffery and we protected him as such. Our hearts were torn when we confirmed the news. Mrs. McLemore had just kidded me on Friday about the "old neighborhood" and how we still keep in touch. Nicky was special and he will be missed by many but his spirit will continue as he was such a positive individual. We will all miss him dearly!

With love,

My deepest sympathy to the McClemore family. I knew Nicky as a young fellow growing up with my brother in the "Compound" on the AU campus. More recently, I would see him coming in and out of City Hall representing a client or serving on a commission. My love and prayers are with the McClemore family at this time of sorrow.

To Ms Carolyn and McLemore Family

I am very saddened about the passing of your dear "Nicky". Words at this time cannot express our sympathy for your loss, but know that he is in a better place and he will be one of the special lawyer angels sitting on the right side of the throne.

Cherish the memories as I will as we worked together at Woodson Elem and shared stories of our children. Take care of yourself and the family and call me if you need me. Be strong and know that the Lord knows best.

To the entire McLemore Family:

There are not enough words to put on this guest book to tell you how many human beings Victor touched, helped and would help if he knew you needed help. For the 30 plus years knowing Victor, Andrew, and Ms. Carolyn, words will not ever be enough to say for the life that Victor lived. He would help "anybody". Victor, you will be sorely missed, the legal system has lost a good one. My prayers are with the family forever. If you should need me for anything, please call.

"If I can help somebody, my life will not be in vain". Victor lived this life.

Love Always, Verna Bair

To All the McLemore family:

I was deeply saddened when I heard that Nicky has left us on earth and on his way to a better place. He was one of a kind...Just a very genuine great person. I had last seen him at some Pius games,he always went out of his way to say hello, catch up with each other and try to crack on me! I first met him while he was attending OLL and I was attending OLA, he had the one side of the old St. Joseph's basketball gym kicking and rocking with his great vocals amd really showing his school's spirit during games on Saturday mornings. He graduated one year ahead of me at St. Pius X, when it was a small Cathoic high school and we got to know all of our fellow students pretty well, along with playing football together. I express my deepest sympathy to his brother Andrew and the rest of the McLemore family.

Michelle,Duchess,Duke and Ms.McLemore,We the Horton Family and the Neely Family would like to send our condolences. I Sheryl have known Victor since we were in the 1st grade at Our Lady of Lourdes. It was so shocking to get that information and even begin to think that my friend that joked with me all time has gotten to that great place before me. But I know that the Victor (Nicky) that I know is in a better place and a place that we are all trying to get to. But Michelle you and the family try to be strong because I know that Victor would want that and I know that he loved each and everyone of you dearly. God Bless you all.

Michelle, Duchess and Duke,

I am so saddened and shocked by the news of Victor's passing. He was a friend for a lifetime even though we didn't see each other much the last few years. Despite our age and cultural differences, he became a close and dependable friend, who opened my eyes to many inequities in the world. We spent so much time working out together, having coffee together and talking about our families. He was always concerned about and proud of his family. Men have few close male friends in life and Victor was one of those types of friends that I could call on anytime for any reason. I will miss him. Please remember, you and the children are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so saddened by this. Victor could brighten up the day just by his being in the room. I work with Judge Moore and for years he called us the "fourth floor divas." His smile was infectious, his heart loving, his demeanor always that of a gentleman and a gentle man. We will miss him always.

When I heard of Victor's passing I was stunned and saddened. We have lost a talented dedicated member of the bar, a compassionate involved member of our community, and a strong loving and devoted father and husband. I would often see Victor at the baseball park or in the courthouse and no matter what he always took the time to ask about my mother and my children. That was the type of caring person he was.

My prayers go out to the family. His loving wife and his children (whom he absolutely adored). Remember, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Victor is with our creator sporting an awesome pair of wings!! Peace and blessings.
