Born in Gaffney, he was the husband of Elsie Stafford LeMaster for 59 years and son of the late George Wayne LeMaster and Elizabeth Thompson LeMaster. He was a graduate of Gaffney High School, a graduate of Limestone College, attended Clemson University, and retired from Alcoa after 30 plus years of service. He was a U. S.
