JOHN C. LEMON John C. Lemon of Corona, California passed away at home in the early hours of Thursday September 17, 2009 at the age of 66. John was born in West Lauren, Ontario, Canada on September 16, 1943. He moved to Southern California in his early twenties and remained here for most of his adult life. He met and married his wife Virginia here. He was often heard to say that Virginia was the best thing that ever happened to him. John is survived by two sisters Sally of Brampton Ontario Canada, Grace of Scarborough Ontario Canada. His wife Virginia, three sons; Brad of Kansas City, Missouri, Lonnie of Huntington Beach, California, and Corbin of Washington state. Also by a daughter, Kerry Sledge of Corsicana, Texas.

John was very proud to also have, 20 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter and was preceded in death by his brother Joe and a son Lindsay John Lemon. John had a huge heart of gold. You would be hard pressed to find anyone Who disliked John. Intelligent, good-hearted, talented and will be missed terribly by the many, many friends who knew and loved him. John was a natural-born story teller who could tell a story many times over and it was still as interesting as the first time he told it. John loved aviation. He held a pilot's license and was very much concerned with issues that face the Aircraft Owners and Pilots' Association. That fact makes it all the more appropriate to remember this line from a traditional song: "Fly like an eagle and land like a Dove...go find all the places you must have dreamed of."
