Clyde was a great influence, a true professional and most of all a great mentor. I am so glad I was able to spend time with him and learn from him in my early days as a young supervisor. RIP Mr. Lemons you were one of a kind!

I would like to offer the family of Clyde Lemons my deepest sympathy. I worked with Clyde for 30 years at UPS he was a inspiration to all of us young managers at the time. He was a great man and was an outstanding partner. He will be sorely missed. Godspeed.

Mr. Clyde Lemons was my training/orientation instructor at UPS, May 8, 1978, Franklin Park, Il.
A good and fair man. Stylish dresser as well!
To this day, I recall Mr. Lemon sharing these words with our class, " I didn't hire you, to fire you." He explained, "if you worked hard, you will do well at UPS."
Truer words never spoken. Worked for 15 years at UPS.
As a business owner of 32 years today, I use those wise words of Mr. Lemon today "I didn't hire you to fire you." Those exact words are partly reason for my business success. It shows a respect, and also, if we work hard in life, we can achieve good things.
Thank you Mr. Lemon, a peaceful rest, Sir!
