I just learned today (4-16-15) of Lonnie's passing. Lonnie was a dear friend of mine really more like a brother and I loved him. I have moved on (out of state) and did not have close contact with him or his family - but you all (his family and friends) are in my prayers. I remember a scripture he quoted many times to me over the years Phillipians 1:6 (Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ, And that is how I will remember him, a wonderful friend and counselor. May God Bless and keep his boys, and the entire Brown family and friends during this time of loss and grief.
