Not sure what to say?

It was a pleasure to know little Lon. He always had a smile on his face, always had time for baby Lon.He was always a kid, didn't matter how old he was. We've lost him in body, but he'll always be in everyone's heart. Had no idea he could dance, but him and Becky had a wonderful time dancing and having fun. That's the picture I want to keep in my heart. It's been a pleasure to know and love you all these years little Lon. Love Bonnie and Otis

I know Lon from Addie's, our kids play together there and he was a great customer of my husbands shop. He was a wonderful father that always walked to pick up his son even in the coldest of the winter months, but he would always take the time to go in to see his Aunt Addie. He was a great man to talk to and he instilled some great qualities in Little Lonny. I really miss seeing the two of them talking and walking together and seeing him laughing and reaching down to ruffle Little Lonny's head.

When I think of Lon, all my memories of him are with that infectious smile of his. Lon was an example for us all, never miss a chance to tell those in your life just how you feel about them. I'm glad that we got to spend some time together in June. I told you then Lon, and I say it again now...I love you Bro. And to my family and friends...I love you all as well.

Thanks to everyone who's been responding. I've really enjoyed reading everyone's comments. Especially Carole Tower's about Lon dancing. I had forgotten how he loved to dance and how his whole personality just brightened when he was on the dance floor. Having this website has given me some solace and also helped bring me back to reality being so far away from you all. I hope Lon knows how much I loved him and that even though I'm so far away, I grieve for him just the same. He really...

The measure of a man is the imprint he leaves on the hearts and minds of others. Lonny, you are missed, and you will remain in our hearts forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lonny was always a good and loving brother to Lenny and I both. And when our daughters came along you couldn't have asked for a more loving, devoted, and proud Uncle.
Thankful I shall always be, the lord made you brother to me. He will remain with us in our hearts and memories forever.

He knows no pain, but we do
It is said that time heals all
It will not diminish the memories
that we have of the Love
that he had for his Family and friends.
We can only wonder why he was taken so early.
You are Loved and missed each day.

Lon W. Tower Sr.

I have thought so much of you this week Lon and it is so very hard to find adequate words to describe our loss. A sympathy card we received this week probably says it best. “At a time like this, there is a sorrow for which no heart could ever be prepared."I remember when you and Becky were married at Fallasburg and how happy you were. I remember when Lonny was born and as he grew, I thought that you were one of the best dad’s I have ever known.We were all so happy that you, Becky Jake and...
