My thoughts and prayers go with each family member as we say goodbye to his earthly body and rejoice at his heavenly homecoming. Lehman loved to pick and tease folks all the time. You could always see that smile when he was teasing you. He loved all of his family and he loved his Lord. He will be greatly missed.

Lehman and I share lots of good memories. TIL VALHALLA BROTHER

- Rick 'DOC' Hall , Montgomery , GA

I'm just learning of Lehman's passing. He was one of the finest southern gentleman you would ever meet. I met him when he was working part-time at Dan Vaden Volkswagen. We would always catch up on how our mutual friends in law enforcement were doing and have a great time sharing stories and jokes while we waited on my vehicle to be serviced. I feel like a relative has passed and I am sad for his wife, children and family. Rest assured that God has a special place for Lehman....probably really close to him so he can stop Lehman from starting any shenanigans. Rest in peace my friend and leave the light on so I can find my way to heaven!

- William Larry Boyette Jr. "Bubba", Savannah, GA

I am so shocked to hear of my cousins passing so long after the fact. I just happened to google him to see what he was up to and came upon his obituary. As crushed as I am, I know Aunt Willie Mae has him now. He has always been my favorite cousin. He always will be.
