My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Lonnie was very special to me and my kids and was a big part of our lives for many years. Lonnie didn’t know a stranger and would help anyone at any time. He will be missed by many.
Lonnie was my introduction to everything Clinton, and as cantankerous as he enjoyed being from time to time, I loved him. Sitting in the store with Lonnie and exchanging tall tales with all the community was my favorite Saturday Morning activity.
We are praying for God to provide you all peace as your remember Lonnie. We are thankful to have known him and cherished the time we had to listen to his stories and jokes. He always made you feel at home when you were around him. Love to you all!!!

Lonnie was a VERY special friend to my entire family, especially my dad. You always made sure grandma and grandpa were ok. For that friendship Lonnie, you will forever be in my mind, heart, and soul!! You, without fail, were ALWAYS there to lend a helping hand, ear, shoulder,and great advice (wanted or not-lol). There was constant laughter and love! I remember many nights as a young girl hanging out at your house with ALL the kids. What fun times you made for us!!
Now God has called for a new Angel and WOW he better be ready for what he has asked for because heaven will never be the same!! God is the winner here you see because he has gained a very special Angel. We will miss you tremendously down here on earth but we will be together again one day!! I feel safe that you will be watching over all of us from your new home. Thanks for being so great to my family and especially my daddy.
