I have only known Lionel for a little over a year, But he was a blessing to me. He shared his gardening knowledge with me last fall when I needed help with my roses. I will miss him. ,

Lionel was a good friend as we were 'pals' at a young age and kept our friendship with he and Ellie until their passing. Not only will his family miss him and her, their will be a huge void for all who knew them. John & Ellen Finfrock

Frank worked with Lionel professionally when we first moved to Lexington in 1984 and we became friends with him and Ellie soon after. Frank and Lionel always enjoyed working together, and later, after both had retired, would enjoy rehashing each and every case in minute detail. He and I shared a love for gardening and many times he would appear at our door, shovel in hand, to divide a perennial for his garden. We'll miss our friendship very much!

Lionel was a law school classmate [U KY, 1967]. He was a forthright, smart, amiable, and generous man who always treated everyone with exceptional respect. As he was a professional through and through, I am honored to have known him and expect that his family shall have many great memories to cherish always. John C Hunsaker III

With much admiration for Lionel´s kind heart and love of knowledge. With wonderful memories of the `old lawyers´ of Lexington I send to his family my deepest sympathy. Tricia Milner

Wow, together for 60 years and passed within 24 hours of each other, then walked hand in hand through the pearly gates. If only we all could be so lucky!
