Uncle Lonnie was such a great man. I viewed him as my rich uncle. When he was headed down it'd be like an announcement ringing through the house. I remember when grandma, Kristy, Ashley, and I went up there and stayed a few. He had this really nice convertible mustang. He'd let down the convertible and play Shaggy's "Mr Boombastic" and "it wasn't me" I felt rich or out of a movie lol. He'd buy us ice cream when the ice cream man came and grandma said no. Even in my adult life he was the uncle that wouldn't say no and he'd figure it out. I'm truly going to miss my uncle. I love you Unk. Don't know if I said it enough, but you were one of my favorites!
