Lonie was married again for over 30 years to Sandy Hank. He led a life filled with dedication, hard work, and adventure. He built a highly successful career as a leader in the life insurance industry, excelling as a salesman and earning the respect of his peers. Beyond his professional achievements, he was known for his love of classic cars and was an active member of the Model A Club. He had a keen eye for finding the best deals, whether it was in business, daily life or while traveling. His love of travel and adventure took him to all 50 states and many countries.

A man devoted to family, faith, and community, Lonie was a pillar of strength and generosity. He was a faithful member of Liberty United Methodist Church for over 60 years, where he dedicated himself to serving others and fostering a strong sense of fellowship. His kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support will be deeply missed by all who knew him. 

Lonie is survived by his sister, Rena Leatherman; his daughters, Rosie Decker, Chris Casey, and Lori Sherk (John); nine grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. His legacy of love, determination, and faith will live on through his family and all those whose lives he touched. He is remembered with love and gratitude by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
