Joseph A. Lempner

I have just today learned of Joe's passing on to his heavenly home. Joe was a GREAT guy. I really enjoyed getting to know him back in the mid 70's and although I've not seen him since about 1981 or 82, I've thought of him often. I'm saddened for everyone's loss as I know many still undoubtedly miss him greatly even now, more than two years later! I have a friend in urgent care in the Cleveland Heart Clinic and am preparing to fly up there tomorrow. I was looking Joe up with hopes of seeing him while near Brunswick.

Dear Linda and family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss.
My prayers for peace, love and strength will be sent up to the Lord.
Sincerely,
Karen Baga

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. May the hope of everlasting life sustain and comfort you during this difficult time. (John 17:3)

Condolences Linda to you and your whole family. I always enjoyed our talks when we saw each other. Tom, Amy, and Lauren Wakeling.

Condolences to Linda and family. My prayers are sent your way. Joe was a classmate of mine from Valley Forge and brother-in-law to my sister.
With Sincere sympathy.

I worked with Joe for 10 years at Athens foods. You would be hard pressed to meet a finer, nicer, god loving man. I am proud to say he was my friend. My sympathies to his family who he was extremely proud of. Rest in the Lord Joe.

I worked with Joe from 2008 until he retired. Our offices were next to each other. He was such a good man, always had a good joke or two to share to brighten the day with laughter. His faith was tremendous and he shared that with me on several occasions. I will always remember Joe's smile and gentle manner. My prayers go out to his family. May God bless and keep you in his arms always.

I thank God for Mr. Lempner and his faithful prayer for and support of this missionary in Perú. I also thank God that Mr. Lempner knew Christ as his Savior and has heard those precious words: Well done, thou good and faithful servantenter thou into the joy of thy Lord. We do grieve, but not as those who have no hope. May we each be faithful to uphold Miss Linda, their sons and daughter and church family in prayer. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. Praying,

My condolences to the entire Lempner family. I only knew Joe for a short period, because he retired shortly after I was hired. He was generous to me, and for that I will remember him kindly

My heart goes out to my cousin Joe's family at this time. Prayers & hugs are sent your way. I am so glad I got to see him last fall at our Cousin's Luncheon. R.I.P. Joe. Love, Eileen

Sending our sincere sympathy to the Lempner family. Joe was a wonderful example of a Christ follower. His daughter Jen was our daughter's best friend growing up. As parents we were always thankful for the Godly influence she received being around the Lempner's. May the family feel God's loving arms all around them and find peace in knowing Joe is with his Heavenly Father whom he served faithfully.
Love and prayers,

My beloved brother, friend, and co-laborer for Jesus Christ and His all victorious Kingdom: Words cannot tell how much I will miss you. The smile on your obituary picture is the smile of your life. I was with you in Utah for Project Utah. We slept together on mats, played basket ball, ate, laughed, and witnessed all day long to Mormon's. You prayed with me before most services at SCBC. Most times I would pray, but occasionally I would ask you to pray -- and sometimes you would say, "can I pray for you today." I weep for the loss of your family, but the Church Triumphant is more fully complete because you have now joined the company of the redeemed. Your voice has unquestionably added to the celestial choir. You now sing in the presence of the Lamb-- and your worship is perfected. I love you, Joe! Pastor Todd Nye
