Lon served as the Treasurer for the Pickerington Lion’s Club for 4 years. He received the Melvin Jones award in 2017 He was kind, gentle, generous, and funny. Those who knew him would likely say he could be a bit of a rascal and have a story to back it up. Lon brought a smile to everyone because he could always find the humor in life’s mundane experiences and was quick to throw out a quip. He loved to think of jokes to play on people. He also was quick with a kind word, thanking people and letting them know how much he appreciated them. Anyone who knew Lon became a better person because of it. Lon was a mentor to many and generous with his time. Lon loved baseball, woodworking, driving in convertibles and his family. Lon faced his healthcare challenges with optimism and grit.
