Lonnie retired from the city of Belle after 39 years of service. After retiring from the city Lonnie went to work for Missouri Water Source in Belle until he was unable due to his health. He loved to watch the St. Louis Cardinals, Mizzou football and basketball. He looked forward to all the traveling baseball that Lane participated in.
