What a great South Texas rancher who was the embodiment of that breed. His humor will be missed by many. Being a guest at Twin Oaks was a high point for us. John And Ginger Dudley

Clair and Loncito,

Thanks for sharing Lon with the Coastal Bend Wildlife Photo Contest. Our photographers, be they from New York, Switzerland, or elsewhere, arrived at Twin Oaks as Lon's guests, and left as part of his extended family. They never failed to win in spades at Twin Oaks, and their beautiful winning pictures live on through the pages of Wildlife in Focus. He charmed everyone: he will be missed, but not forgotten.

Loncito and Family,
I just saw this, Wayne Hanselka posted it on Facebook. You dad was a very kind and gracious man and I always thought of him and your family as I drove past the turn off on the highway. I am better for having known him. I am so sorry for your loss.
