Overachiever was devoted to volunteerism, family
By Amanda ROBINSON, Free Press Reporter, Sun., December 31, 2006
Ken LEMON was a London accountant with a Midas touch -- and not
just at his job.
A longtime volunteer, he also put his talents to work to help
many causes -- from the Young Men's Christian Association to
his church and London bids to hold the Commonwealth Games.
Effortlessly, it seemed, he excelled in school, business and
life.
The "ultimate professional" and father of three, he died September 25.
He was 89.
"Ken could do anything he put his mind to," said his friend,
Jack BIDDELL, of
LEMON's ability to balance his extensive community
involvement with his family life.
As a boy, LEMON's family had little money and the benefits he
received from services such as the Young Men's Christian Association
fueled his love of volunteerism.
He operated fundraising campaigns, chaired organizations and
created foundations.
Still, he maintained a strong relationship with his family --
his late wife
Honor, sons Rick and Peter
LEMON and daughter Ann
BRIGGS, seven grandchildren and a great-grandchild.
"He never missed anything… he would come from wherever he was
to attend stuff," Peter
LEMON said.
LEMON was born October 1, 1916, in Orillia.
BIDDELL said
LEMON was an "overachiever" and didn't have to work
hard for good grades in school.
LEMON received two national scholarships,
paying his tuition to attend a Canadian university.
He turned them down, accepting an apprenticeship with the Toronto
accounting firm Clarkson, Gordon and Co.
"It was what he planned to do all along," said
BIDDELL.
In 1948, LEMON was sent with 10 employees -- and a handful of
clients -- to co-partner the company's London branch.
Keith BAUMAN/BOWMAN, a 10-year employee until 1978, believes the firm
succeeded because
LEMON encouraged a team atmosphere and cared
about his employees.
"People had such respect for him that you wanted to do a good
job and not let him down," he said.
LEMON's son said after his dad retired in 1982, he continued
to do income tax returns for people without charge.
"He enjoyed doing financial activities, it was his hobby," he
said. Today, "selfishness is a popular characteristic, but… he
always thought of himself last."
