Mr. Lemonds spent the last 20 years helping us do our taxes. We become friends and he helped our family in so many ways. I could always call him if I needed help. He would always befriend my kids and make them feel welcomed. I sure am going to miss him. Fly High E.L., may God bless you and your family during these difficult times 😪. You will be greatly missed.
Sorry for the loss. RIP
I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of EL. I had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago in Randleman while he was working at Pepsi. His infectious smile and warm, friendly nature always brightened the room. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. My thoughts are with the entire family.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of EL. He has prepared our taxes for the last 27 years. It was always such a pleasure to be around him. Please accept our condolences during this most difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
To the Lemonds Family, So sorry to hear of Erma’s passing. Your families are in our prayers.
Prayers to the family for your loss. I always looked forward to tax time and the many conversations we had. He had a great sense of humor and was a workhorse. I remember on many nights working late and seeing his truck across the parking lot well past 11. He will be missed.
Phillip Kirkman. I worked at the Asheboro Pepsi-Cola plant with EL. He was always a joy to be around. I still remember his laugh. Saw him at the Sunset Theater at Christmas! Prayers
