We knew Lonnie thru his business. Over many years, we took several cars to Lonnie for repair. On EVERY OCCASION, he was kind and HONEST. Several times I told him, "I think we should replace this part" It was not unusual for Lonnie to say, "Don't waste your money. We can fix it better, and cheaper this way". We sent much business to Strickland Automotive because of his honest way of doing business. We will certainly miss Lonnie Strickland. "... I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (the words of Jesus) John 10:10
