The passing of a legend

I received an email today from Glenda Lehman Ervin, VP of Marketing at Lehman's, as follows: "Dad passed way Sunday at the age of 91. I thought you would want to know."

She was referring to Jay Lehman, founder of Lehman's non-electric store in Ohio.


I never met Mr. Lehman, but he was so well-loved that the store put up a life-sized cardboard cutout so fans could take a "photo" with him. I think that says something about a person's decency, don't you?


Some obituaries for his remarkable life can be read here and here.

Rest in peace, Mr. Lehman.

    I'm sure he's with the Lord now.

    Consolation is, he is home with the Lord! But such a loss for his family and community. Thank you for sharing, Patrice. Prayers for his family.

    I feel like 2020 has taken so much from so many. If Van Morrison dies this year I am probably not going to make it another year. I really feel like every day is another loss. I’m trying to find the good in things but it is getting more and more difficult.

    Rest In Peace Mr. Lehman. I appreciated your business so very much.
