John Patrick Lemire

John Patrick Lemire, 60, of Largo, Florida passed away unexpectedly at his home on Saturday, August 27th, 2016. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Margaret Lemire, and brother Joseph Lemire, of Warwick, Rhode Island. He is survived by his beloved wife of 35 years, Dianne, and his loving children, daughter, Tina Marie Hamilton (D.J.) of Tampa, son, John Paul Lemire (Renee) of Valrico, and brother, Robert Lemire of Providence, RI. John was blessed with two "perfect" granddaughters, Harper Grace Hamilton and Reagan Marie Hamilton, who provided him unmatched happiness during these last 3 years. John was born in Providence, RI and moved to Largo with his wife and children in 1992. He was a very talented man who was proud to "work with his hands", specializing in repairing countless industrial machines and compressors of every type during the last 4 decades. A devoted Catholic, Husband, Father, Brother, Grandfather and extremely proud "Son of Little Rhodie", he especially loved "his" New England Patriots. Locally, he was an outspoken Super Fan of the Rays, Bolts and Buccaneers; never missing an opportunity to tell anyone how his teams needed to improve! His ever present New England accent and contagious smile made him a great friend to any and all who had the honor to meet this very patriotic, proud Irish-American! A Memorial Service will be held at St. Matthews Catholic Church in Largo, Florida on Saturday, September 3rd at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the St. Matthews Catholic Church in Largo, Florida.
