Paul Glynn “Buss” Lemon, 89, of Gassaway passed away peacefully at his home on Sugar Creek, Sunday, August 27, 2023.

Born in Gassaway on December 19, 1933, he was the son of the late James H. Lemon and Nellie G. (Duffield) Lemon.

He was preceded in death by his brothers, Don and Harry Lemon.

Buss was a Christian and known for his kindness and willingness to help neighbors, friends and family. He was an avid baseball player who enjoyed playing the game and all the camaraderie involved. He was a member of the Gassaway Masonic Lodge #133 and took his duties seriously until he was unable to help. He honorably served in the United States Army from 1956 – 1958 before beginning his career with G & L Services. G & L later became Bi-Con from which he retired with 35 plus years. He spent the rest of his life doing what he loved; living and working on his farm, surrounded by his family and friends.
