In our 33 years as Dad and daughter, our relationship definitely went full circle. You were my best friend, my sound board, my trusted advisor. You taught me so so much. I swear I'm going to take good car of my car and keep it clean, just like you always insisted. I'm going to be right here to take care of Mom and Cookie, always.
May your memory remain for eternity and may we all remember the example you set for us.
I love you, Pop.
From Mom...
You were the love of my life. We always said we would make it, and we did!
I'll love your always, your loving wife Linda.
I remember when I think it was a year or two ago but papa made a car for my stuffie Zobey.
I couldn't tell you how many weekends I've spent at Grandma and Papa's house. Almost every weekend we would spend outside puttering around, helping in the garden, and even me and Papa's favorite thing fartin' around. Even the times papa would go away to drive his semi truck me and Grandma would wait patiently for him to come back with some homemade cookies. I hope now Papa you are resting easy and I plan on holding my promise I made to you by looking out for Grandma and doing that painting of the Maple tree with the eisle you made me.
I love you Papa
Love uncle Lonnie you'll forever be missed and remembered for all the times at lake and spending time with everybody during holidays and birthdays andbmyvspecial memory at Lil Lonnies wedding when we had a shot of whiskey and I gave you the biggest hug I'll never forget!
Missing you daddy💔
I was daddy's little girl and he was my Hero.I have so many memories that I will cherish a life time .My favorite times spent were together as a family rather it was on a road trip heading up north to see grandma and Grandpa or go camping with the whole family .,aunt's uncles cousins we had the best of times all spent together and I will cherish these memories for a lifetime.....
Uncle Lonnie was a big part of my life growing up. Pretty sure I spent more time at their house than I did my own. I will never forget being a kid and washing his truck, running through the sprinklers with our raincoats on, and all the good food we ate. I am so happy to have him as a core part of my life. He will be remembered, loved, and missed forever.
