Lester Thomas Hinmon, Sr., known to many as “Lovemaker,” was born on December 20, 1950 to the late Norman and Dorothy Hinmon, Sr. He peacefully departed this life on Saturday, June 8, 2019 at Sentara Albemarle Medical Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

He was educated in the public schools of Accomack County. He attended Mt. Olive Baptist Church. At a young age, Lester began driving truck and made it his lifetime career. He took pride in working hard and was dedicated to his profession.
