Lonnie worked for several years for NYCHA and then went on to become a general contractor specializing in roofing and carpentry. Lonnie's nickname was L-Dogg and that's how everybody in the neighborhood knew him. Lonnie was a very generous person who would help anyone he cared about whether it was giving you a few dollars in hard times or fixing something in your house when needed. He also was a very funny person who told some of the corniest jokes ever but you would laugh until you cried because of the way he told them. Lonnie was a wonderful man who always made sure that everyone he loved know how much he cared for them. He will be missed by so many that knew him.
