Lonnie's grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he loved spending time with them! Lonnie enjoyed fishing, hunting, and hanging out with Pat, Larry, and Rocky. He loved to fish. Growing up he would walk 5 miles to the bridge on M Highway. He would cut limbs and tie on a string with hook to make poles for his sisters. Lonnie and his brother Bobby made the hooks. Lonnie and Bobby also learned taxidermy and stuffed many animals (particularly deer heads). For years, Lonnie would invite his mom and siblings to his home in Union to enjoy his swimming pool. Great parties! He was a master griller! He loved talking to just about everyone he crossed paths with.
