Lonnie retired after 26 years with Pennzoil and most recently retired from Wood Group after 5 years of service. He was enjoying the retired life of going back and forth from their home in The Woodlands to their "Cabin in the Woods" in Centerville, TX. He always looked forward to going fishing and hunting and catching some "turdknockers". One of his greatest joys was playing golf with his son-in-law Carlos and his good friend Nate. He loved life to the fullest and will be so missed. Have a Miller Lite for him. Due to COVID-19 restrictions a family celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2020 at The Woodlands Community Presbyterian Church, the Reverend Dr. David Jones officiating followed by a balloon release. It will also be carried live on Facebook. Go to The Woodlands Community Presbyterian Church Facebook page to view. We will always remain #Lonnie Strong.
