Lonnie was my boss when I worked at Job & Family Services.
He was the most kind and gentle person, I have ever known.
When he retired, I missed him very much.
I had the pleasure, of meeting his wonderful family, and Nancy his wife.
Gods Speed to his family, and I´m looking forward to seeing Lonnie again in "Paradise.
