IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Cal
Lemon
December 7, 1945 – December 28, 2022
Dr. Calvin Paul LeMon born December 7, 1945 died December 28, 2022 at age 77 in Springfield, Missouri surrounded by his family as he passed on to his eternal home in Heaven. He is survived by his spouse, Kathy LeMon; daughters, Daphne Ondr (Jeff) and Niki Miroslaw (Mike); grandchildren, Nick Ondr, Zachary Ondr, Barrett Winslow, Liam Winslow, Max Miroslaw, Pete Miroslaw, and Helen Miroslaw.
Cal was born to Marie and Robert LeMon in Niagara Falls, NY. He lived his childhood years in New Jersey with siblings Charlene, Bob and Carl.
He met Kathy at Evangel College and they were married in 1967 in Niles, OH.
Cal attended Evangel College and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Hamilton, MA followed by Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California for his Doctorate in Ministry. He served as chaplain at Harvard University, pastored churches in Cambridge, MA as well as Springfield, MO. He moved to corporate training with National Seminars in 1987 followed by starting his own consulting firm, Executive Enrichment. He enjoyed speaking and writing books and continuing to preach throughout his career.
Cal was always ready to flash a warm and inviting smile, had a knack for making people feel at ease with engaging conversation wrapped with humor and joy. He loved his grandchildren on whom he doted endlessly and attended every event that celebrated a birthday, sporting event, or achievement that honored them.
Cal instilled the love for the magic of Christmas, travel, great music, pasta and family time into all the family who loves him so much. He will be dearly missed by his shih tzu companion Hippocrates Lambchop.
