We are so sorry that Lonnie is no longer on earth our heart goes out to Vicky and his girls as well as all his family. I was so excited to see his posts on the ICC virtual Mass during COVID. It had been years since we sang together at ICC and when they sang at our wedding and Lonnie and Vicky encouraged us to become parents through adoption. We were on Facebook and had recently bought a condo in Hampton and hoped to invite Lonnie and Vicky over when the pandemic was finished. Unfortunately...

Lonnie,
Thank you for the impact you chose to make, the legacy that you are passing on. Your example of His love.
Personally, thank you Lonnie for the kindness you showed my mother, myself and my children. My daughter. The words of encouragement you offered.
Your family and friends shared such love.
Your love story written by your bride was touching in heart and soul.
Your love for each other is/was a beautiful, fragrant bouquet that kept blooming.
Many...

Lonnie was one of a kind. I remember in SJV he was our classes' baseball pitcher. For whatever reason, I was catching that day instead of Tom Puglisi. Lonnie had a wicked knuckle ball. (Actually, ALL of Lonnie's pitches were wicked!) You had to get down in the dirt to stop his knuckle ball. Had a runner trying to steal second and I threw down. Almost took Lonnie's head off doing so. He hit the ground, the ball just missing him, and laying flat on the ground gave me "the look." Never forgot...

Lonnie was a giver. I enjoyed playing golf and working with Lonnie at the Pines golf course. My sympathy to the family.

Going back so many years, I smile as I remember both he & his mother as musicians both at Bethel Manor Chapel and ICC. And Vicki your family also. The girls as infants. Your loss is so great.

So many years Lonnie gave his best to the students/young citizens of Hampton! It was an honor to work with this wonderful professional at Phoebus HS. My love to Vickie and the girls/family on your loss.
