Lonnie loved his family and reminiscing about memories shared with them. He loved working on houses and building things with his hands. He had a love of classic muscle cars. He worked on cars and many people would trust him before anyone else. We loved to go out morel mushroom hunting during the spring and fishing on beautiful days.
