He retired from the Goodyear Wire Plant in Asheboro where he was a Level V Technician and played softball for their team well into his fifty’s. Larry also played softball for many years in Greensboro, NC for the White Oak Pirates. A true sports enthusiast, he was a diehard New York Yankees and UNC basketball fan, visited every Major League Baseball Stadium and participated in his baseball stats league for over 40 years. He enjoyed teaching his kids to play sports, gardening, and always had a project going at home. He loved his family and looked forward to the annual family beach trips where he enjoyed relaxing on the beach, body surfing, and going for runs in the hottest part of the day. He loved his many canine companions, especially his current German Shepherd Bear, named after Yogi Berra. Larry was preceded in death by his son: Larry Alan “L.J.” Lemons Jr., and his mother: Sarah Jacqueline “Jackie” Wilson Lemons.
