Lemuel Paul Tillman Jr.

Lemuel volunteered in the United States Army in 1974. He served his country well and seemingly enjoyed doing it. He traveled all over the country and overseas. He worked as a truck driver for multiple transportation companies to include Mistletoe Express and J.B. Hunt which culminated into traveling to all 50 states of the Unites States of America.

Lemuel was raised on Houston’s Southside. He graduated from the historical, Evan E. Worthing High School, the last predominately black High School in Houston. On April 5th 1985, Lemuel married the “Love of his Life,” JoAnn Ortegon. God blessed them with 35 years of marriage. He enjoyed many things but had a special love for music. His record and CD collection is remarkable. Other hobbies included reading, playing dominoes, chess and entertaining family and friends.
