Dear Nancy and family, I was so sorry to read of the death of Lonnie. He was known as "Bunt" at The Citadel, where we were roommates our freshman year in 1951-1952. He was always smiling, always helpful and well liked. I am glad I got to talk to him on the phone a few months ago. May God bless and console you in this difficult time of losing a good man.
