Lonnie wore many hats throughout his life, from a carpenter when he needed something built to a mechanic and handyman when he needed something fixed. He’s cut wood and hauled hay most of his life but his favorite hat to wear was a comic and critic. He liked to laugh and make Lenda mad but, in the end, he always made her smile.
