Most knew our dad loved Ford Mustangs, playing pool, watching movies and tv shows while eating his favorite snacks. He especially loved watching football and boy did he love making fun of the Dallas Cowboys LOL. It gave him great joy hearing how his grandchildren performed in their basketball games. Most of all, he loved spending time outside barbecuing with his family and grandchildren reminiscing on his good old days while listening to his favorite "oldies" and having a cold beer.
Dad, you had the heart of a lion and gentle as a lamb. The beautiful memories you left us are embedded in our hearts and entangled within our spirits. We love you and we'll miss you forever dad...till we meet again.
A visitation will be held for Lionel on Thursday, March 18,2021 starting at 5:00PM to 9:00PM with a prayer service at 7:00PM at Heavenly Grace Funeral Home.
