Mr. Lemon was a hard-working man who was good at anything he attempted to do, and if he didn’t know how to do it, he could figure it out. He worked many years as a grinder but in his free time, Alan loved to work on cars. Mr. Lemon was good at building racing cars and motors, and he enjoyed competing with the cars he built.

Alan had an incredible sense of humor and anyone who spent any time with him knew the fun and freehearted man he was. Mr. Lemon loved nature and birds, and he had a soft spot for his pets, Kiki and Belle. Alan was also a lover of music, and the classics were among some of his favorites.

Mr. Lemon was a kindhearted man who was good to everyone, and he loved his family dearly. His wife and children were his joy, and they will miss him greatly. Although Alan is no longer here with them, his humor and spirit of kindness will remain with them forever.
