I will never forget that you took a native New Yorker and showed him the pinestraw business. Thank You! I will never forget that you called me "Son-in-Law" BEFORE we had "the talk" about me marrying your daughter Joy (Jordana). Thank you! I will never forget that you told me that "Ma Ma" (Addy) was your grandbaby ever since "she first pulled up on me as a lil baby". Thank you! Mr. Lonnie I enjoyed every single conversation and all the times you fussed at me about driving your pick up truck too fast pulling the trailer loaded down with pinestraw. You admitted that you were not a perfect man, but that you worked hard and anyone can go far by working hard, "Remember that son-in-law!" THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU MR. LONNIE!
Your "son-in-law", Keith McNear

You always said If people didn't want to see me act up don't mess or say anything bad about " My boys" When the truth of the matter was you were just as protective . A hard worker and a lender to many , you found ways to earn a dollar while you proved Yourself to be not only a hard worker but a devoted worker. You wore many hats Lonnie, we thank you for embracing and excepting us . Thank you for showing our now young men techniques needed to carry them through . Even through your time of sickness you always asked about Lucious and spoke words of encouragements to us both. From : Lucious Gamble jr.&BarbaraH.Gamble we say sleep on my friend you fought with great strength, You had wings so long ago but the time came on March 13,2021 for you to fly. Soar high and use your wings to take you to that resting place until we all will meet again . Lonnie CohenLewis jr. was known for being a talker, many will remember that but he was a giver that believe in helping those in need . You will be missed
