Anyone who had the opportunity and privilege to become acquainted with Richard Lemly immediately understood the meaning of a “true gentleman.� Mr. Lemly truly set the example for us as a friend and an individual who cared for people and the community. I had the honor and privilege to serve with him and to learn from him as a member to the Board for the Northwestern Regional Housing Authority for several years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Lemly, Fred, and the other members of the family.

Dear Lemly family,
I was blessed to be welcomed into Mr. and Mrs. Lemly's home
and spend a few days with their family. What a truly remarkable example of love they set for their children. I know my life has been enriched from that short visit and I am fortunate to have Evelyn as my friend. She is a shining example of that love. May God bless you Mr. Lemly and watch over Mrs. Lemly.

I've never met a more humble person than Richard Lemly. He was also proud of his family, friends, country and community.
He served them all very proudly and honestly. He and his five brothers all served their country in the military, all the way from WWII to Desert Storm. In fact Richard and three of his brothers were all overseas at the same time during WWII!!!
Richard's legacy will live on through his children, grandchildren,greatgrandchildren, etc. because he instilled in them integrity, hard work and a sense of value. But let's not overlook the value of his life mate, Minnie. If Richard had faults, then Minnie's strengths overcame them. She especially showed her strength and love during Richards long period of declining health. God bless you Minnie and your whole family.

Very sorry for the loss of this dear man. My prayers go out to all the family who will miss his wit and humor. It was a privilege to be welcomed into his home on several wonderful visits to beautiful Fleetwood. He lives on in our memory as a beautiful example of a godly husband and father, a man who loved life and loved joking with children.

Dear Lemly Family, I was so sorry to hear of Richard passing. He was one of the kindess man I ever knew he was always very good to me and very helpful to me also. I always thought if I got elected to public office I wanted to try and be as humble and caring as he was. He was a very fine example for us to follow, I always wanted to serve with him but unfortunately I did'nt get that opportunity. He probably did more for the community than anybody, he did'nt do them for recognition but because it was the right thing to do, he will be truly missed by all who had the honor and privelege of knowing him. He was a great man. May God Bless You all and your family.
