I worked with Lon at the City when he was an analyst in Water Util. Dept. A group of us had lots of fun together out of the office. Most notably we went to a grape stomp up in San Pasqual then relaxec in Lon's and Myrna's hot tub afterwards. It was a pleasure to know Lon. My deepest sympathy to his family. Anne Stock

When Lonnnie came back for a visit he always stayed here with me in East Peoria, IL. He would come back thru IL every 2-3 yrs. for a visit. His last visit being 9-11-01. He wanted to go on a trip to southern IL where most of our family was from and were born. He was more than just a brother he was my good friend. He will always be loved and missed by his family and friends.
