My Prayers are with the Lemos Family.
Bob Lemos was one of the best People I’ve known. If it weren’t for him I would’ve Dropped out of school. Thank You Bob for your motivation to keep me in school. Rest In Peace.
My condolences to Bob’s family. I worked with Bob for five years at White Pine High School. He was a popular teacher for good reason. He genuinely cared about his students and wanted them to succeed.
Dear Jane, so sorry to hear about Bob. You two were perfect for each other and will always have wonderful memories of fun times together. You are in our prayers. Love you.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Lemos family. Mr. Lemos was hands down my favorite teacher in high school. He cared about his students and always encouraged us to do better! In VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) he had high expectations for everyone and would help students see that they could rise to the challenge, whatever it was. Mr. Lemos would make sure every student could go on the VICA trip by organizing fundraisers until enough money was made to cover expenses for all students.
Lemos family, my condolences.
Jane and family: We are sorry to hear of Bob ‘s passing. You are in our prayers and will light a candle at Sunday mass here in Idaho.
I’m so sorry to hear of Robert’s passing. My prayers are with his family.
