I have known Lonnie for many years going back to the Data General day's. As a retired AF veteran we shared many stories and I will miss him. We use to run across each other in the BX when Nicole worked there and at Martins Point. He was a proud warrior, a friend, and will be missed. I wish all his family my condolences and God Bless.
