Cathy,
I just posted a photo of Lon in the picture section. Thanks for all your
help. I am looking forward to seeing what his memorial will look like. By the
way, here's some info about Lon that might be helpful when putting his memorial
together. He was an avid bass fisherman. In fact, one year he was named Bass Pro
of the Year Championship 1st place for the entire state of Illinois. He loved
people, all people and especially children. He was a Viet Nam Viet, drill
sergeant and 1st sergeant. He started his own business from the ground up and it
became one of the most successful businesses in Decatur Illinois in the 1980's.
He was a very patient, compassionate, loving and forgiving man. He was my best
friend.
