Lonnie always had a smile on his face and had a way of making everyone else around him smile too. Growing up with him as a neighbor, even though I was younger, he always included me and made me laugh...he was a great guy and will be missed. Love and condolences to his family.

I think Lonnie's the guy with the biggest feet for anyone less than 6 feet tall!
As we honor the 1978-79 basketball team - state champs - this fall with our Legacy Award at the Sidney Alumni Sports Hall of Fame, we will have to have a moment for Lonnie.
The memories always center around laughter and good times...it's what he was all about.

To the entire Marble Family, Words alone cannot express my sympathy on the passing of Lonnie, To say that his time with you was far too short is an understatement. The reality is that he will be sorely missed by all who loved and knew him.
Lonnie was one of those people who was like a breath of fresh air. His infectious smile and warm personality made him one of those special people that was a joy to be around. I can truly say that I don't think I ever saw a frown on his face. RIP My Friend..

To the entire Marble family - Lonnie was one of a kind and we all need to thank you for sharing him with us. He was someone who could make you laugh with just a smile. In school and beyond, whenever I saw him, he'd smile and say "Jaaaacccckkk". My husband worked with him at Amphenol and remembers him always smiling and laughing. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort in the words of his friends. Lonnie meant a lot to a lot of people. He was certainly someone special!

I remember Uncle Lonnie and Jonathon coming over to play basketball in my driveway, no matter what temperature, we loved playing in the middle of Janaury! Also, always being welcomed to the Marble house to play golf, ride 4-wheeler and swim! Uncle Lonnie you will be missed and my love goes out to Aunt Sandy and Jonathon. I wish I could be there.
In the words of Lonnie "Who loves ya BABY?" Love you all!

As I was reading all the candles that have been lit. I am not surprised what a great guy Lonnie was. Although I never knew Lonnie personally, I know a great deal about his family. tears were rolling down my face as I continued to read all the comments about Lonnie. I grew up with his Dad, Kermit and just saw him at the "March of Classes" a week ago. It seems like the "Marble" family was possibly the best all around family that Sidney has seen as far as sports go. Lonnie was on the 79 State Championship Baskeball team.
I play golf with Jonathon, and he is following in the "Marble " tradition. Long and straight down the middle..that's Jonathon.
My condolences to the entire Marble family.

Kay,Kermit and Marble family May your memories and those of others comfort you. Donald was always kind. When I came home for the reunion Mom and I were remebering the times spent at your house and mom's time working with Don. Until she retired he still insisted on calling her Mrs. Gill like he had been taught since a kid. It still makes my mom laugh and smile at the memory of what "a nice kid he always remained". As a classmate I will always remember "Lonnie", he was a presence, his feet, his hair the constant smile.

my condolences to the entire marble family. like all others i hold in my heart only the fondest of memories of don. his upbeat and outgoing personality could only be outmatched by his unending happy go lucky attitude. i had the oppurtunity some 32 years ago to witness and play along one of the most competative athletes sidney schools has ever seen. the way don could run over opponents on the football field throw and hit a baseball and clear out an entire lane on the basketball court was amazing.don was a tenacios competetor and refused to loose. his win only attitude propelled our teams to many successes. don was well known for his athletic abillities on the court but what people may have appreciated most was his positive approach and attitude. i will cherish all our treasured memories. don was the best!

Always smiling or laughing, always genuinely friendly. The last time I saw Don was several years ago when our kids were sledding at the high school in Sidney. I hadn't seen him several years before that. He was the same friendly man as always; it was as though no time had passed. Thinking of you and I'm so very sorry for your loss....

We grew up in the same neighborhood and Don was my sister Joyce's best friend. I remember how he planned to be a pro basketball player when he grew up and when they announced his name at the games they were going to say his last name backwards, "Here comes Don Aboolimar!!!". I remember how he could hold a pickle in his mouth all day, he loved his pickles. I remember the time he fell off our porch and dislocated his elbow. I also remember how big his feet were, and I know that those shoes will be hard ones to fill, impossible actually. We love you, Don, and our sincerest condolences to his family.

My fondest memories of Lonnie were watching him running up and down that basketball court - back and forth over that Warrior Head on that beautiful glossy wooden floor - waiting for him to fall and trip over the biggest feet I have ever seen, but he never did - he had the grace of a prima ballerina. He is the definition of a true GENTLEmam. It was a privilege to cheer for him as a Sidney High School cheeleader. My thoughts and prayers are with the family - we are all better people for having shared time with Lonnie
