He was a God-fearing man, a farmer by trade and for almost 50 years the proprietor of Lemonds Grocery, a small rural grocery store and gas station in Delta. He always let his grandchildren have "one thing" a day from the store, and it was a cherished tradition. Family was everything to him. Sundays were sacred. He will be missed.
